Susan's hands clutched until the nails sunk into the palms. She shut her teeth together, turned to fly. "Wait!" commanded Mrs. Warham. "Wait, I tell you!" Susan halted in the doorway, but did not turn. "Your uncle and I have talked it over." "Oh!" cried Susan. Mrs. Warham's eyes glistened. "Yes, he has wakened up at last. There's one thing he isn't soft about "
Her woman's instinct guided her straight to the secret of the conflict raging behind Mrs. Warham's unhappy face. "The finest girl in the world," cried Stevens, well-meaning but tactless. "Girl!" exclaimed Fanny, starting up from the sofa. "Is it a girl?" Nora nodded.
It was a magnificent piece of work, of shimmering gold, with orphreys embroidered with arms; and she stroked out its folds with obvious pride. "These are Warham's arms," observed the Abbess. "You know them, Mr. Torridon? We worked these the month before his death." Ralph nodded briskly. "Will you kindly leave it here, Reverend Mother," he said. "I wish to see it again presently."
The letters indeed which passed between the great churchman and the wandering scholar, the quiet, simple-hearted grace which amidst constant instances of munificence preserved the perfect equality of literary friendship, the enlightened piety to which Erasmus could address the noble words of his preface to St. Jerome, confirm the judgement of every good man of Warham's day.
In the catalogue of Chancellor Warham's virtues and laudable usages, Erasmus takes care to mention that the primate was accustomed to entertain his friends, to the number of two hundred at a time: and when the man of letters notices the archbishop's moderation with respect to wines and dishes a moderation that caused his grace to eschew suppers, and never to sit more than an hour at dinner he does not omit to observe that though the great man "made it a rule to abstain entirely from supper, yet if his friends were assembled at that meal he would sit down along with them and promote their conviviality."
And these priories were suppressed, to the number of more than a hundred houses." Stow's Chronicle, p. 345. The commission is in Morton's Register, MS., Lambeth Library.

"Had I found such a patron in my youth," Erasmus wrote long after, "I too might have been counted among the fortunate ones." It was with Grocyn that Erasmus on a second visit to England rowed up the river to Warham's board at Lambeth, and in spite of an unpromising beginning the acquaintance turned out wonderfully well.
She would have been amazed if she had known how well. All the years of her life, thanks to Mrs. Warham's good sense about health, she had been steadily adding to the vitality and strength that were hers by inheritance. Thus, the response to this first demand upon them had been almost inevitable. It augured well for the future, if the future should draw her into hardships.
With the "Submission of the Clergy" and the appointment of Cranmer as Warham's successor, it became entirely clear that to protest or resist would be worse than useless.
She had kept to the main road because she did not wish to lose time, perhaps return upon her path, in the confusion of the darkness. Now she began to look about her at the country. It was still the hills as round Zeke Warham's the hills of southeastern Indiana. But they were steeper and higher, for she was moving toward the river. There was less open ground, more and denser undergrowth and forest.
