She may have had parents. There is no telling. She lived with her uncle Fulbert, a canon of the cathedral of Paris. I do not know what a canon of a cathedral is, but that is what he was. He was nothing more than a sort of a mountain howitzer, likely, because they had no heavy artillery in those days. Suffice it, then, that Heloise lived with her uncle the howitzer and was happy.
This Lance did not mind; but he was very sensitive as to the dignity of his Cathedral, and the perfections of his chosen friend, one Bill Harewood; and Fulbert was not slow to use the latter engine for 'getting a rise' out of him, while Clement as often, though with less design, offended by disparagement of his choir; nor could Edgar refuse himself the diversion of tormenting Clement by ironical questions and remarks on his standard of perfection, which mode of torture enchanted Fulbert, whenever he understood it.
'Ay, Sir, said old Tripp, 'parties do be saying as how it is a mortial pity to see such a church go to wrack; and I do believe the Squire wouldn't be so hard to move if it warn't for the Passon that's young Mr. Fulbert, the vicar. 'I don't understand all these rectors and vicars, said Lance. 'I thought they never hung out together.
Sir Adrian had quarrelled with all the family in turn except Clement, and this fact, or else that gentleness towards a sufferer that had won on old Fulbert Underwood, led him in a lucid interval to direct and sign a hurried will, drawn up by his steward, leaving the Reverend Edward Clement Underwood sole guardian to his children, and executor, together with his lawyer.
Staples led the way to the dining-room, where there was a large empty table in the middle of the room, and in the deep bay of the window a smaller one, laid out with wine and dessert, where sat 'old Fulbert. Having always heard him so called, the brothers were surprised to find him no more than elderly.
And so, exulting over an honorable confidence which to his degraded instinct was a ludicrous "simplicity," this unmanly Abelard seduced the niece of the man whose guest he was. Paris found it out. Fulbert was told of it told often but refused to believe it.
Strangely he remains still a shining figure to us; the wildly beautifullest man, in body and in soul, that one has ever heard of in the North. By G. W. PROTHERO William I., King of England, surnamed the Conqueror, was born in 1027 or 1028. He was the son of Robert, Duke of Normandy and Herleva, daughter of Fulbert, a tanner of Falaise.
I was only seven, you know, and my father never would talk of it. Sibby used to revile the mane nagur, Misther Fulbert, till it was current in the nursery that he was a black man who expelled us vi et armis. One day, my father found four or five of us in a row slashing at an old black doll, by way of killing Misther Fulbert, and prohibited such executions.
'Well, when I was a little chap, and knew no better, I used to think I would be a soldier or a farmer but that's all nonsense; and I suppose I must have some abominable little clerkship, said Fulbert, with a certain steadiness for all the growl of his tone. 'Well, Fulbert, have you a mind to try whether the other side of the world would suit you better? Fulbert looked up.
'If it should be a sell! gasped Fulbert. 'Suppose it were, said Felix gravely. 'Then, said Edgar, 'you can disown the old rogue Chester. 'What stuff! interposed Clement. 'I'd cut him out of my will on the spot, persisted Edgar. 'But it is all right, said Cherry, looking with quiet certainty into her brother's face; and he nodded and coloured at the same time.
