it ere you hale me to your prison."
The chapter-house was in uproar. Never in
the long and decorous history of the Abbey had such
scene been witnessed within its walls. The monks
themselves seemed for an instant to be infected bv
this spirit of daring revolt. Their own lifelong
letters hung more loosely as they viewed this
unheard-of defiance of authority. They broke
from their seats either side and huddled half
scared, haf-fascinated in large half-crcle round
the defiant captive, chattering pointing grmaci1e
a scandal for all time. Scourges should fall and
penance be done for many long week before the
shadow of that day should pass from Waverley.
But meanwhile there was no effort to bring them
back to their rule Everything was chaos and dis
order. The Abbot had left his seat of justice and
hurried angriy forward. to be engulfed and hustled
in the crowd of his monks like sheep-dog who
finds himself entang1ed amid flock.
Only the sacrist stood clear. He had taken
shelter behind the halfdozen archers who looked with
approval and good deal of indecision at this
bold fugitive from Justice
On himl" cried the sacrist. "Shall he DEFY
the authority of the court shall one man hold
six of you at bay? Close in upon him and seize
himl You. Baddesmere, why do you hold back?"
The man in question, tall bushy- bearded fellow
clad like the others in green jerkin and brooches
with high brown boots advanced slowly, sword in
hand, against Nigel. His heart was not in the
business, for these clerical were not popular
and everyone had a tender heart for the fallen
fortunes OF the house of Loring and wished well to
its young heir
Come young sir, you have caused seattle
enough" said he. Stand forth and give yourself
up!"
Come and fetch me, good fellow said Nigel,
with dangerous smile.
The archer ran in. There was rasp of steel,
blade fiickered like swift dart of flame and the
man staggered back, with blood running down his
forearm and dripping from his fingers. He wrung
them and growled a Saxon oath.
By the black rood of Bromeholm" he cried,

house of Loring would share the fate of the
meanest village poacher. the hot blood of Nigel
rushed to his face, and his eye glanced round
him with CLEAN which said more plainly than
words that there could be no tame acceptance of
such doom. Twice he tried to speak, and twice
his anger and his shame held the words in his
throat
Il subject of yours, proud Abbott" he
cried at last. MY house has ever been vavasor

court to lay sentence upon me- Punish these your
own monks, who whimper at your frown, but do
not dare to lay your hand upon him who fears you
not, for he is free man. and the peer of any save
only the King himself"
The Abbot seemed for an instant taken aback
by these bold words. and by the high and strenuous
voice in which they were uttered. But the sterner
sacrist to stiffen his will. He held up
the old parchment in his hand

angrily, "methinks you show over

He motioned with his hand, and

shoulder of the prisoner. But that
rough plebeian touch woke every
passion of revolt in Nige1's spirit.
