The Welshman was blindfolded and withdrawn, when, as Wilkin Flammock himself left the guardroom, one of the seeming men-at- arms, who had been present at this interview, said in his ear, in English, "Thou art a false traitor, Flammock, and shalt die a traitor's death!" Startled at this, the Fleming would have questioned the man farther, but he had disappeared so soon as the words were uttered.
Fear not but that Wilkin shall be heard in his defence. Thou wert wont to be quiet and reasonable." "I am neither quiet nor reasonable on this matter," said Rose, with redoubled indignation; "and it is ill of you, lady, to listen to the falsehoods of that reverend mummer, who is neither true priest nor true soldier. But I will fetch one who shall confront him either in casque or cowl."
Wilkin s afraid of losing his new mistress They live together all winter A remark on that They begin to know each other's language A long discourse between them at cross purposes She flies They engage to be man and wife.
There stands Wilkin Flammock, son of Dieterick, the Cramer of Antwerp, let those accuse him to his face who slandered him behind his back!" "Speak, Father Aldrovand," said the Lady Eveline; "we are young in our lordship, and, alas! the duty hath descended upon us in an evil hour; yet we will, so may God and Our Lady help us, hear and judge of your accusation to the utmost of our power."
Wilkin Flammock had retreated from the tumult, when he saw the turn which matters had taken. He left the castle by a sally-port, of which he had been intrusted with the key, and proceeded without observation or opposition to the royal camp, where he requested access to the Sovereign. This was easily obtained, and Wilkin speedily found himself in the presence of King Henry.
After these fathers of the settlement came Wilkin Flammock, mounted on his mighty war-horse, and in complete armor, save his head, like a vassal prepared to do military service for his lord.
"Have a care, good Wilkin," said the father, "that thou dost not exceed in this matter. Wine is, thou knowest, like fire and water, an excellent servant, but a very bad master." "It will be long ere it overflow the deep and solid skulls of my countrymen," said Wilkin Flammock.
I fear me thou art no true Christian, Wilkin Flammock, but dost lean to the heresy of the mountaineers. Thou hast refused to take the blessed cross thou hast breakfasted, and drunk both ale and wine, ere thou hast heard mass. Thou art not to be trusted, man, and I will not trust thee I demand to be present at the conference betwixt thee and the Welshman."
Thus speaking, he drew close up to Wilkin, and sunk his voice to an insinuating whisper, as he said, "Never did the withdrawing of a bar, or the raising of a portcullis, bring such vantage to Fleming as they may to thee, if thou wilt." "I only know," said Wilkin, "that the drawing the one, and the dropping the other, have cost me my whole worldly subsistence."
"Right, Master Wilkin Flammock," answered the father; "but, good Fleming, wilt thou tell me what answer thou wilt make to the Welsh Prince's summons?" "Reverend father, first tell me what the summons will be," replied the Fleming. "To surrender this castle upon the instant," answered the monk. "What will be your reply?" "My answer will be, Nay unless upon good composition."
