And my bow shall thou bear,
And over all the north country,
I make thee the chief rydere.
And I thirteenpence a-day, quoth the queen,
By God and by my faye,
Come fetch thy payment when thou wilt1,
No man shall say thee nay2.
William of Cloudesley.
The manners of the age did not permit the inhabitants of Glendearg to partake of the collation3 which was placed in the spence of that ancient tower, before the Lord Abbot and his attendants, and Sir Piercie Shafton. Dame5 Glendinning was excluded, both by inferiority of rank and by sex, for (though it was a rule often neglected) the Superior of Saint Mary’s was debarred from taking his meals in female society. To Mary Avenel the latter, and to Edward Glendinning the former, incapacity attached; but it pleased his lordship to require their presence in the apartment, and to say sundry6 kind words to them upon the ready and hospitable7 reception which they had afforded him.
The smoking haunch now stood upon the table; a napkin, white as snow, was, with due reverence8, tucked under the chin of the Abbot by the Refectioner; and nought9 was wanting to commence the repast, save the presence of Sir Piercie Shafton, who at length appeared, glittering like the sun, in a carnation-velvet10 doublet, slashed11 and puffed12 out with cloth of silver, his hat of the newest block, surrounded by a hatband of goldsmith’s work, while around his neck he wore a collar of gold, set with rubies13 and topazes so rich, that it vindicated14 his anxiety for the safety of his baggage from being founded upon his love of mere15 finery. This gorgeous collar or chain, resembling those worn by the knights17 of the highest orders of chivalry18, fell down on his breast, and terminated in a medallion.
“We waited for Sir Piercie Shafton,” said the Abbot, hastily assuming his place in the great chair which the Kitchener advanced to the table with ready hand.
“I pray your pardon, reverend father, and my good lord,” replied that pink of courtesy; “I did but wait to cast my riding slough19, and to transmew myself into some civil form meeter for this worshipful company.”
“I cannot but praise your gallantry, Sir Knight16,” said the Abbot, “and your prudence21, also, for choosing the fitting time to appear thus adorned22. Certes, had that goodly chain been visible in some part of your late progress, there was risk that the lawful23 owner might have parted company therewith.”
“This chain, said your reverence?” answered Sir Piercie; “surely it is but a toy, a trifle, a slight thing which shows but poorly with this doublet — marry, when I wear that of the murrey-coloured double-piled Genoa velvet, puffed out with ciprus, the gems24, being relieved and set off by the darker and more grave ground of the stuff, show like stars giving a lustre25 through dark clouds.”
“I nothing doubt it,” said the Abbot, “but I pray you to sit down at the board.”
But Sir Piercie had now got into his element, and was not easily interrupted —“I own,” he continued, “that slight as the toy is, it might perchance have had some captivation for Julian — Santa Maria!” said he, interrupting himself; “what was I about to say, and my fair and beauteous Protection, or shall I rather term her my Discretion26, here in presence! — Indiscreet hath it been in your Affability, O most lovely Discretion, to suffer a stray word to have broke out of the penfold of his mouth, that might overleap the fence of civility, and trespass27 on the manor28 of decorum.”
“Marry!” said the Abbot, somewhat impatiently, “the greatest discretion that I can see in the matter is, to eat our victuals29 being hot — Father Eustace, say the Benedicite, and cut up the haunch.”
The Sub-Prior readily obeyed the first part of the Abbot’s injunction, but paused upon the second —“It is Friday, most reverend,” he said in Latin, desirous that the hint should escape, if possible, the ears of the stranger.
“We are travellers,” said the Abbot, in reply, “and viatoribus licitum est — You know the canon — a traveller must eat what food his hard fate sets before him. I grant you all a dispensation to eat flesh this day, conditionally30 that you, brethren, say the Confiteor at curfew time, that the knight give alms to his ability, and that all and each of you fast from flesh on such day within the next month that shall seem most convenient — wherefore fall to and eat your food with cheerful countenances31, and you, Father Refectioner, da mixtus.”
While the Abbot was thus stating the conditions on which his indulgence was granted, he had already half finished a slice of the noble haunch, and now washed it down with a flagon of Rhenish, modestly tempered with water.
“Well is it said,” he observed, as he required from the Refectioner another slice, “that virtue32 is its own reward; for though this is but humble33 fare, and hastily prepared, and eaten in a poor chamber34, I do not remember me of having had such an appetite since I was a simple brother in the Abbey of Dundrennan, and was wont36 to labour in the garden from morning until nones, when our Abbot struck the Cymbalum. Then would I enter keen with hunger, parched37 with thirst, (da mihi vinum quaeso, et merum sit,) and partake with appetite of whatever was set before us, according to our rule; feast or fast day, caritas or penitentia, was the same to me. I had no stomach complaints then, which now crave38 both the aid of wine and choice cookery, to render my food acceptable to my palate, and easy of digestion39.”
“It may be, holy father,” said the Sub-Prior, “an occasional ride to the extremity40 of Saint Mary’s patrimony41, may have the same happy effect on your health as the air of the garden at Dundrennan.”
“Perchance, with our patroness’s blessing42, such progresses may advantage us,” said the Abbot; “having an especial eye that our venison is carefully killed by some woodsman that is master of his craft.”
“If the Lord Abbot will permit me,” said the Kitchener, “I think the best way to assure his lordship on that important point, would be to retain as a yeoman-pricker, or deputy-ranger, the eldest43 son of this good woman, Dame Glendinning, who is here to wait upon us. I should know by mine office what belongs to killing44 of game, and I can safely pronounce, that never saw I, or any other coquinarius, a bolt so justly shot. It has cloven the very heart of the buck45.”
“What speak you to us of one good shot, father?” said Sir Piercie; “I would advise you that such no more maketh a shooter, than doth one swallow make a summer — I have seen this springald of whom you speak, and if his hand can send forth46 his shafts47 as boldly as his tongue doth utter presumptuous48 speeches, I will own him as good an archer49 as Robin50 Hood51.”
“Marry,” said the Abbot, “and it is fitting we know the truth of this matter from the dame herself; for ill advised were we to give way to any rashness in this matter, whereby the bounties52 which Heaven and our patroness provide might be unskilfully mangled53, and rendered unfit for worthy54 men’s use. — Stand forth, therefore, dame Glendinning, and tell to us, as thy liege lord and spiritual Superior, using plainness and truth, without either fear or favour, as being a matter wherein we are deeply interested, Doth this son of thine use his bow as well as the Father Kitchener avers55 to us?”
“So please your noble fatherhood,” answered Dame Glendinning with a deep curtsy, “I should know somewhat of archery to my cost, seeing my husband — God assoilzie him! — was slain56 in the field of Pinkie with an arrow-shot, while he was fighting under the Kirk’s banner, as became a liege vassal57 of the Halidome. He was a valiant58 man, please your reverence, and an honest; and saving that he loved a bit of venison, and shifted for his living at a time as Border-men will sometimes do, I wot not of sin that he did. And yet, though I have paid for mass after mass to the matter of a forty shilling, besides a quarter of wheat and four firlocks of rye, I can have no assurance yet that he has been delivered from purgatory59.”
“Dame,” said the Lord Abbot, “this shall be looked into heedfully; and since thy husband fell, as thou sayest, in the Kirk’s quarrel, and under her banner, rely upon it that we will have him out of purgatory forthwith — that is, always provided he be there. — But it is not of thy husband whom we now devise to speak, but of thy son; not of a shot Scotsman, but of a shot deer — Wherefore, I say, answer me to the point, is thy son a practised archer, ay or no?”
“Alack! my reverend lord,” replied the widow, “and my croft would be better tilled, if I could answer your reverence that he is not. — Practised archer! — marry, holy sir, I would he would practise something else — cross-bow and long-bow, hand-gun and hack-but, falconet and saker, he can shoot with them all. And if it would please this right honourable60 gentleman, our guest, to hold out his hat at the distance of a hundred yards, our Halbert shall send shaft4, bolt, or bullet through it, (so that right honourable gentleman swerve61 not, but hold out steady,) and I will forfeit62 a quarter of barley63 if he touch but a knot of his ribands. I have seen our old Martin do as much, and so has our right reverend the Sub-Prior, if he be pleased to remember it.”
“I am not like to forget it, dame,” said Father Eustace; “for I knew not which most to admire, the composure of the young marksman, or the steadiness of the old mark. Yet I presume not to advise Sir Piercie Shafton to subject his valuable beaver64, and yet more valuable person, to such a risk, unless it should be his own special pleasure.”
“Be assured it is not,” said Sir Piercie Shafton, something hastily; “be well assured, holy father, that it is not. I dispute not the lad’s qualities, for which your reverence vouches65. But bows are but wood, strings66 are but flax, or the silk-worm excrement67 at best; archers68 are but men, fingers may slip, eyes may dazzle, the blindest may hit the butt69, the best marker may shoot a bow’s length beside. Therefore will we try no perilous70 experiments.”
“Be that as you will, Sir Piercie,” said the Abbot; “meantime we will name this youth bow-bearer in the forest granted to us by good King David, that the chase might recreate our wearied spirits, the flesh of the dear improve our poor commons, and the hides cover the books of our library; thus tending at once to the sustenance71 of body and soul.”
“Kneel down, woman, kneel down,” said the Refectioner and the Kitchener, with one voice, to Dame Glendinning, “and kiss his lordship’s hand, for the grace which he has granted to thy son.”
They then, as if they had been chanting the service and the responses, set off in a sort of duetto, enumerating72 the advantages of the situation.
“A green gown and a pair of leathern galligaskins every Pentecost,” said the Kitchener.
“Four marks by the year at Candlemas,” answered the Refectioner.
“A hogshead of ale at Martlemas, of the double strike, and single ale at pleasure, as he shall agree with the Cellarer —”
“Who is a reasonable man,” said the Abbot, “and will encourage an active servant of the convent.”
“A mess of broth35 and a dole73 of mutton or beef, at the Kitchener’s, on each high holiday,” resumed the Kitchener.
“The gang of two cows and a palfrey on our Lady’s meadow.” answered his brother officer.
“An ox-hide to make buskins of yearly, because of the brambles,” echoed the Kitchener.
“And various other perquisites74, quae nunc praescribere longum,” said the Abbot, summing, with his own lordly voice, the advantages attached to the office of conventional bow-bearer.
Dame Glendinning was all this while on her knees, her head mechanically turning from the one church officer to the other, which, as they stood one on each side of her, had much the appearance of a figure moved by clock-work, and so soon as they were silent, most devotedly75 did she kiss the munificent76 hand of the Abbot. Conscious, however, of Halbert’s intractability in some points, she could not help qualifying her grateful and reiterated77 thanks for the Abbot’s bountiful proffer78, with a hope that Halbert would see his wisdom, and accept of it.
“How,” said the Abbot, bending his brows, “accept of it? — Woman, is thy son in his right wits?”
Elspeth, stunned79 by the tone in which this question was asked, was altogether unable to reply to it. Indeed, any answer she might have made could hardly have been heard, as it pleased the two office-bearers of the Abbot’s table again to recommence their alternate dialogue.
“Refuse!” said the Kitchener.
“Refuse!” answered the Refectioner, echoing the other’s word in a tone of still louder astonishment80.
“Refuse four marks by the year!” said the one.
“Ale and beer — broth and mutton — cow’s grass and palfrey’s!” shouted the Kitchener.
“Gown and galligaskins!” responded the Refectioner.
“A moment’s patience, my brethren,” answered the Sub-Prior, “and let us not be thus astonished before cause is afforded of our amazement81. This good dame best knoweth the temper and spirit of her son — this much I can say, that it lieth not towards letters or learning, of which I have in vain endeavoured to instil82 into him some tincture. Nevertheless, he is a youth of no common spirit, but much like those (in my weak judgment) whom God raises up among a people when he meaneth that their deliverance shall be wrought83 out with strength of hand and valour of heart. Such men we have seen marked with a waywardness, and even an obstinacy84 of character, which hath appeared intractability and stupidity to those among whom they walked and were conversant85, until the very opportunity hath arrived in, which it was the will of Providence86 that they should be the fitting instrument of great things.”
“Now, in good time hast thou spoken, Father Eustace,” said the Abbot; “and we will see this swankie before we decide upon the means of employing him. — How say you, Sir Piercie Shafton, is it not the court fashion to suit the man to the office, and not the office to the man?”
“So please your reverence and lordship,” answered the Northumbrian knight, “I do partly, that is, in some sort, subscribe87 to what your wisdom hath delivered — Nevertheless, under reverence of the Sub-Prior, we do not look for gallant20 leaders and national deliverers in the hovels of the mean common people. Credit me, that if there be some flashes of martial88 spirit about this young person, which I am not called upon to dispute, (though I have seldom seen that presumption89 and arrogance90 were made good upon the upshot by deed and action,) yet still these will prove insufficient91 to distinguish him, save in his own limited and lowly sphere — even as the glowworm, which makes a goodly show among the grass of the field, would be of little avail if deposited in a beacon-grate.”
“Now, in good time,” said the Sub-Prior, “and here comes the young huntsman to speak for himself;” for, being placed opposite to the window, he could observe Halbert as he ascended92 the little mound93 on which the tower was situated94.
“Summon him to our presence,” said the Lord Abbot; and with an obedient start the two attendant monks95 went off with emulous alertness. Dame Glendinning sprung away at the same moment, partly to gain an instant to recommend obedience96 to her son, partly to prevail with him to change his apparel before coming in presence of the Abbot. But the Kitchener and Refectioner, both speaking at once, had already seized each an arm, and were leading Halbert in triumph into the apartment, so that she could only ejaculate, “His will be done; but an he had but had on him his Sunday’s hose!”
Limited and humble as this desire was, the fates did not grant it, for Halbert Glendinning was hurried into the presence of the Lord Abbot and his party, without a word of explanation, and without a moment’s time being allowed to assume his holiday hose, which, in the language of the time, implied both breeches and stockings.
Yet, though thus suddenly presented amid the centre of all eyes, there was something in Halbert’s appearance which commanded a certain degree of respect from the company into which he was so unceremoniously intruded97, and the greater part of whom were disposed to consider him with hauteur98 if not with absolute contempt. But his appearance and reception we must devote to another chapter.
