I remember, however, some gray walls, that looked like the last remains of an old castle, near the railway station. We next took the train for the way to which, for a considerable distance, lies within sight of the sea; and in close vicinity to the shore we saw Holy Isle, on which are the ruins of an abbey. Norham Castle must be somewhere in this neighborhood, on the English shore of the Tweed.
Because he liked best to travel alone he was called "the Great Hermit of Nature." One memorable day of which he thought but little at the time he stopped on the road to make a sketch of Norham Castle. Later he completed the picture, and it became famous, so successful that from that hour he had all the work he could do.
This was their only baggage; true to the Lindsay motto, the stars were their only tents: and thus they flashed from one county to another, doing infinite mischief, and the dread of every one. While young Edward III was being crowned, they had well-nigh seized the Castle of Norham. The tidings filled the boy with fire and indignation.
"No harm done," said Meynell, stooping "one of our host's Greek coins. What a beauty!" He picked up the little case and the coin which had rolled out of it a gold coin of Velia, with a head of Athene one of the great prizes of the collector. Norham took it with eagerness. He was a Cambridge man, and a fine scholar, and such things delighted him. "I didn't know Flaxman cared for these things."
Who can care for a 'reduced' anything! But a transformed Christianity that is another matter." "Why 'Christianity' at all?" Meynell looked at him in a smiling silence. He the man of religion was unwilling in these surroundings to play the prophet, to plunge into the central stream of argument. But Norham, the outsider and dilettante, was conscious of a kindled mind.
Edward held his interview with the Scottish nobles in Norham church, and announced that he had come there in the character of lord paramount, and as such was prepared to make choice of one among them.
In the meantime the Scottish King, though his sentiments towards Perkin had sensibly cooled, had no intention of leaving him in the lurch, and had advanced on Norham Castle very shortly after his protege had sailed for Ireland. The Earl of Surrey, however, who commanded in the north, was well prepared, and very soon took the field with twenty thousand men.
The question for which we are campaigning is as to the terms of membership in that society. But terms and conditions there must always be. The 'wild living intellect of man' must accept conditions in the Church, as we conceive it, no less than in the Church as Newman conceived it." Norham shrugged his shoulders. "Then why all this bother?"
The village will worship there for a while. We shall make it beautiful!" Norham was silent for a moment. He was stupefied by the energy, the passion of religious hope in the face beside him. Then the critical temper in him conquered his emotion, and he said, not without sarcasm: "This is all very surprising very interesting but what are the ideas behind you?
When Edward I. was called to arbitrate between the claimants to the Scottish throne, he came to Norham and met the rival nobles, who, with their followers, were quartered at Ladykirk, on the opposite side of the Tweed.
