If the leading agencies of Harold's memorable career might be, as it were, symbolised and allegorised, by the living beings with which it was connected as Edith was the representative of stainless Truth as Gurth was the type of dauntless Duty as Hilda embodied aspiring Imagination so Haco seemed the personation of Worldly Wisdom.
Jean was soon in Hilda's arms; and the two lovers, with Haco, spent the remainder of the day in pious thanksgiving to the Holy Mother by whose special interposition, testified so miraculously to the maiden, the cause of Christ had triumphed and the parted had been reunited, when the last gleam of safety seemed to have been extinguished. The next morning Father Austin arrived.
There was something in the positive tone of this beardless youth that displeased him; but he remembered that Haco was the son of Sweyn, Godwin's first-born, and that, but for Sweyn's crimes, Haco might have held the place in England he held himself, and looked to the same august destinies beyond.
It happened that, just before Gaff left Cove in the sloop of Haco Barepoles, Lizzie Gordon had presented him with a Testament. Being a seriously-minded man, he had received the gift with gratitude, and carried it to sea with him.
Though all his troops paved the way from his court to his coasts, I would hew my way through their ranks." "Deemest thou that I am a coward?" said Haco, simply, "yet contrary to all law and justice, and against King Edward's well-known remonstrance, hath not the Count detained me years, yea, long years, in his land? Kind are his words, wily his deeds. Fear not force; fear fraud."
"Perhaps you are right, sweet cousin! Anyhow we can't be both wrong, which is a comfort." "May I ask what is the heart-trouble you complain of?" said Lizzie. "Love and hatred," replied Gildart with a sigh and a frown. "Indeed! Is the name of the beloved object a secret?" It is Haco Barepoles." "The mad skipper!" exclaimed Lizzie in surprise. "I thought he was the most amiable man in existence.
But Gurth, lately wedded to a woman worthy of him, said gravely: "Haco speaks well, my father; and methinks it is due to both that Edith should not, unconsulted, be abandoned by him for whom she has abjured all others; to whom she has been as devoted in heart as if sworn wife already.
The appalled skipper uttered another yell, and sprang up into the air. The four-poster could not stand the test. Haco went crashing through the bottom of the bed, flattened the French horn, and almost killed the trombone, while the broken ends of the planking of the bed pinned them to the floor. Escape was impossible. Haco perceived the joke, and instantly recovered his self-possession.
And when thou didst come so noiselessly to my side, with thy sad, cold eyes, O Haco, methought I saw the Messenger of Death. But thou art strong, Haco, and life will be long for thee; let us talk of life." Haco stooped down and pressed his lips upon the girl's pale forehead. "Kiss me too, Thyra." The child kissed him, and they sate silent and close by each other, while the sun set.
You spoke of running round there for repairs soon, and I would rather go by sea than by that snorting railway. Will you do it?" "With pleasure, lad." "Thank'ee; now I'll bid you good-night. You may depend upon it that you won't be disturbed again by a band," said Gildart, laughing. "I know that," replied Haco with a grin; "it's my opinion they've had enough of me for one night.
