"Saucy Anne," answered Isabel, with a half smile, "I am not raught by thy shafts, for I was a child for the nurses when King Edward sought a wife for his love. But were I chafed as I may be vain enough to know myself whom should I blame? Not the king, but the Lancastrian who witched him!"
Now, seeing the lion shamed in this manner, my heart beat violently for Shagpat, so that I awoke with the strength of its beating, and 'twas hidden from me whether the monkey was punished by the lion, or exalted by the other beasts in his place, or how came it that the lion's tail was lost, witched from him by that villain of mischief, the monkey; but, O great Genie, I knew there was a lion among men, reverenced, and with enemies; that lion, he that espoused me and my glory, Shagpat!
"If I only were sure he would make you happy now, half as happy as you deserve, I'd forgive him his share of this summer's mischief. The fault was just half mine, you see, for I witched with him. I confess it. I have my own little spider-webs for these great lordly flies, and I like to hear them buzz." "Take care, Sally; never do it again, or the spider-web may get round you," said Mara.
'I'd rayther, by th' haulf, hev' 'em swearing i' my lugs fro'h morn to neeght, nor hearken ye hahsiver! said the tenant of the kitchen, in answer to an unheard speech of Nelly's. Oh! ye're a raight nowt; and shoo's another; and that poor lad 'll be lost atween ye. Poor lad! he added, with a groan; 'he's witched: I'm sartin on't.
Then buke him gentle Gawayne, Said, "Lady, that's but a shill; Because thou art mine own lady Thou shalt have all thy will." And his courtesy broke the spell of the stepdame, as the lady related "She witched me, being a fair young lady, To the green forest to dwell, And there must I walk in woman's likeness, Most like a fiend in hell."
This night has witched me to wish for love to desire it; and I sit here a-thinking, a-thinking.... If love ever came to me I should think it would come now ere the dawn; here, where all is so dark and quiet and close to God.... Cousin, this night, for the first moment in all my life, I have desired love." "To be loved?" "No, ... to love."
The old folks try to stay them, but the children pay no heed. They hear the weird, witched music and must follow. The games are left unfinished and the playthings drop from their careless hands. They know not whither they are hastening. The mystic music calls to them, and they follow, heedless and unasking where. It stirs and vibrates in their hearts and other sounds grow faint.
"It's Janet it's Janet, I know!" screamed Maude, and leaving her slice of bread to burn and blacken before the fire, she hurried away, while Nellie, who had heard nothing of the letter sent the week before, wondered much who the "witched old thing with the poking black bonnet could be."
I plead the boy's cause to you because I know not because of what." "It is ill to plead without knowing why. Let us forget the valiant Kenneth. They tell me, Sir Crispin" and she turned her glorious eyes upon him in a manner that must have witched a statue into answering her "that in the Royal army you were known as the Tavern Knight." "They tell you truly. What of that?" "Well, what of it?
Certainly not," the stranger replied, preserving his erect pose of inquiring and expectant attention. "Why, then the mounting's 'witched sure enough, that's all," said Hite desperately. He cast off his hold on the stranger's horse, caught up his reins anew, and made ready to fare onward forthwith. "Does fire ever show there?" demanded his companion wonderingly.
