The Governor-General consigned me to Kajana as a "political," which was synonymous with a sentence of death in those damp, dark oubliettes beneath the water-dungeons every whit as awful as those of the Paris Bastile.
"Oh friend!" said he suddenly, "'tis a wondrous world you have given back to me; I almost grow a man again " Even as he uttered these brave words the shuddering took him once more, but when I would have aided him he smiled and spake 'twixt chattering teeth: "Never heed me, Martin this cometh of the water-dungeons 'twill soon pass " "God knoweth you have suffered over-much "
Strong am I, but very gentle 'tis ever my way with beauty. I do but come for my answer." And he pointed to a crumpled parchment that lay upon the table. "O, good my lord," she whispered, "I cannot! If thou art gentle indeed then " "He lieth above the water-dungeons, lady!" sighed Sir Gui. "Ah, the sweet Christ aid me!" "To-morrow he goeth to death, or lieth in those round, white arms.
So they took this rascal friar and scourged him and set him in the water-dungeons where rats do frolic, and to-night at sunset he dieth by slow fire as a warning to Ah! sweet, noble, good my lord, what what would ye " for Beltane had risen and was looking down at the crouching Pardoner, suddenly haggard, pallid-lipped, and with eyes a-glare with awful menace; but now the Pardoner saw that those eyes looked through him and beyond living eyes in a face of death.
"So now do I tell thee that, as she died snatched out of life by brutal hands so, at this hour, even as we stand idle here, other maids do suffer and die within Belsaye town. To-day, as we stand here, good Friar Martin lieth within the noisome water-dungeons where rats do frolic " "Ha! the pale fox!" growled Walkyn.
"Nought, my lord." "Lieth the goldsmith deep?" "Above the water-dungeons, my lord." "And she wept, say you? Methinks the goldsmith shall go free to-morrow!" So saying, Sir Gui went on into the city, and as he went, his smile was back again, and his tongue curved red betwixt his lips.
