"Yes, I do," replied my master, nowise intimidated by the bully's fury. "Ah, Vitalis," he hissed, "so you'll talk? Well, I can talk also. Your affairs do not concern me, but there are others who are interested in you and if I tell, if I say one name.... Ah, who will have to hide his head in shame?" My master was silent. Shame! His shame!
She kicked and beat her mother, until at last the wretched creature released her hold and sank back exhausted. With the cheese knife, which her daughter had fetched, Vitalis killed Madame Boyer. They were murderers now, the young lovers. What to do with the body? The boy would be coming back soon. The cellar under the kitchen seemed the obvious place of concealment.
But others were true writers of literature, who told their tales in vivid, stirring words, so that they make these times live again for us. The names of some of the best of these chroniclers are Eadmer, Orderic Vitalis, and William of Malmesbury. By degrees these Norman and Anglo-Norman monks became filled with the spirit of England.
There was some bread and a piece of cheese. We all expressed satisfaction at the sight of the food. Unfortunately, we were only able to have a very small piece, for not knowing how long we should have to stay in the hut, Vitalis thought it advisable to keep some for supper.
The three dogs stood in a row before us, Capi and Dulcie with their eyes fixed on their master. Zerbino stood with drooping ears and tail between his legs. "The thief must leave the ranks and go into a corner," said Vitalis in a tone of command; "he'll go to sleep without his supper." Zerbino left his place, and in a zigzag went over to the corner that Vitalis indicated with his finger.
I did not see Mattia. He had probably been taken off to the hospital. Upon seeing the officer and recognizing me, Garofoli paled and looked frightened, but he soon recovered himself when he learned that they had only come to question him about Vitalis. "So the old fellow is dead?" he said. "You know him? Well, tell us all you can about him." "There is not much to tell. His name was not Vitalis.
Ordericus Vitalis, in his Ecclesiastical History, under the year 1098, reckons Vinland along with Greenland, Iceland, and the Orkneys, as under the dominion of the king of Norway. Where then was Vinland? it is generally believed it was part of America; and the objections which may be urged against this opinion, do not appear to us to be of much weight.
But she did not look up, for she did not know that I was there above her. She went round the garden, then out into the road, looking up and down. I cried louder, but like my first call it was useless. Then Vitalis understood, and he also came up on the bank. It did not take him long to see the figure with the white sunbonnet. "Poor little chap," he said softly to himself.
I was glad when bedtime came, and I could close myself in my cabin. That was my first bad night on board the Swan. What could I do? What say? Perhaps Vitalis would not give me up, then they would never know the truth. My shame and fear of them finding out the truth was so great that I began to hope that Vitalis would insist upon me staying with him. Three days later Mrs.
It was evident that Pretty-Heart was ill and he must be very ill indeed to refuse the sugared wine that he liked so much. "Drink the wine, Remi, and stay in bed," said Vitalis. "I'll go for a doctor." I must admit that I also liked sugared wine and besides I was very hungry. I did not let him tell me twice to drink it.
