Such were Castelet, Mont d'Argent, Pierre-Feu, and Trebonsitte. Nowadays we can go by road to all these spots, formerly they could be reached only by boat or raft. The isle of Cordes is about five miles from Arles, it was evidently at one period fortified, and is believed to have formed for some time the camp of the Saracen invaders who scourged and swept Provence with sword and flame.
Plaie d'argent n'est pas mortelle, he seemed to say, and if he felt sharp regrets, he disdained to express them. No more did care about his literary reputation trouble him. In the ordinary greedy sense, he seemed quite free from ambition.
"The Lord bless thee, and keep thee; and grant unto thee grace and strength to choose and to do the harder part, when the harder part is His will for thee." After which: "Benedictio Domini sit vobiscum," said the Bishop; and made the sign of the cross over the bowed head of the Prioress. Symon, Bishop of Worcester, had bidden Sir Hugh d'Argent to sup with him at the Palace.
That of the left, the largest, is the Tour d'Argent, that of the middle, the Tour Bonchet, and the third, the Tour de César or the Tour de l'Horloge. This last is the only one which has preserved its mediæval crenulated battlements aloft.
As the last words fell in solemn utterance from the Bishop's lips, the silence without was broken by the loud clanging of the outer bell; followed by hurrying feet in the courtyard below, the flare of torches shining up upon the casements, and the unbarring of the gate. "It must be close on midnight," said Hugh d'Argent; "a strange hour for an arrival."
Le chapitre des mots d'enfants est fort étendu. J'en cueille quelques-uns au hasard: Voici un trait d'Alexandre de Battenberg, alors qu'il était tout jeune encore. Manquant d'argent de poche, il imagina d'écrire
To me the whole thing would be purely an affair d'argent, and as such it would no doubt turn out well. Here you have plenty of business, but I must add one thing more. I have lately laid your poor Vienna cousin under contribution. That had the desired effect, and to both I owe it that my manager will probably discharge his debt before long.
When Hugh d'Argent ceased speaking, Symon of Worcester did not immediately make reply. He sat looking into the fire, fingering, with his left hand, the gold cross at his breast, and drumming, with the fingers of his right, upon the carved lion's head which formed the arm of his chair.
Young Roger, gay and glad, knelt and kissed the Bishop's ring; then, rising, flung back a strand of fair hair which fell over his forehead, and said: "A bath, my lord, would be even more welcome than supper and bed. It shames me to have come in such travel-stained plight into your presence, and that of this noble knight," with a bow to Hugh d'Argent.
The Bishop held in his hands the Pope's letter, and also a legal-looking document, from which seals depended. "This doth closely concern you, my son," said the Bishop, with some emotion, and placed the parchment in the Knight's hands. Hugh d'Argent could have mastered its contents by the light of the wax taper burning beside the Bishop's chair.
