44021Surprised?
44021The barons of the exchequer examined the rolls,''a tempore primi conquestus''(?)
44021The difficulty is caused by the statement as to the oaths of the sheriff, the tenants- in- chief(_ barones_), and their foreign(?
44021The first point to be considered is this: What was the information which the tenants- in- chief were called upon to supply in these returns?
44021The question may very fairly be asked,''What check had the crown upon a tenant in the event of the latter omitting some of his"excess"fees?''
44021Then''wanting is-- what?''
44021They are Triplow, Wetherley(?
44021This brings us to the interesting question, why was such a writ issued?
44021Was not this a later harbour( 1637), and the real original one out to the south?]
44021Was then the Danelaw the district within which the systems prevailed?
44021Was there time, moreover, to construct such a fortress, if''the battle followed almost immediately'', as we learn,''on the arrival of Harold''?
44021Was, then, our author a mere pedant, or was this the name that ignorance bestowed on knowledge?
44021We are indeed; for, if he was''an aged man''half a century before, what must he have been when he joined the rebels in 1101?
44021We must read:''and thereof is"gewered"[?
44021We there read as follows: Is it possible that in the case of Leicester, at least, no power was left either to follow or to resist?
44021What are the corollaries of this conclusion?
44021What do we find?
44021What is the meaning of it?
44021What security, it may be asked, could they obtain for the terms they seem to have exacted?
44021What then remains, it may be asked, of Mr Freeman''s narrative?
44021What then was the''third document''from which they both copied?
44021What then was this document?
44021What, then, is the inference to be drawn?
44021What, then, was its date?
44021What, then, was this mysterious payment but the_ auxilium vicecomitis_, or''sheriffs''aid''?
44021When and how were these_ quotas_ fixed?
44021When was it compiled?
44021Where do we find them?
44021Why''grotesque''?
44021William de Braose 25(?)
44021William de Traci 30(?)
44021Yet what do we find?
44021[ 115] Now what was the intention of this advance?
44021[ 127] Item_ pro militibus sexaginta libræ_ quos[?
44021[ 134] But if the institution was fully recognized under Henry I, how was it''sacrilegious''?
44021[ 152] But is that impression confirmed by the evidence of the rolls?
44021[ 166] How could such a writer teach the lesson of the Norman Conquest?
44021[ 16] In this instance, he boldly assumed that''Pentecost, as we gather from Florence[?]
44021[ 219] Starting from this conclusion, let us now proceed to ask, what was the document from which B and C copied independently?
44021[ 249] But was it worked then?
44021[ 255] But what was the''Liber de Thesauro''?
44021[ 27] Such being William''s settled principle, what might the citizens of Exeter expect?
44021[ 29] But how stood the case at its close?
44021[ 5] From''Bristric''I turn to''Eadric'', and ask if we may not here recognize''Eadric the Wild''himself?
44021[ 97] What then was the true determinant in the light of these conclusions?
44021[ Footnote 12: Beeby, Keyham, Hungerton,[?
44021[ Footnote 132: Should not this rather be''from ecclesiastical tenants- in- chief holding by military service''?
44021[ Footnote 223: Could this have been Richard fitz Nigel himself?]
44021[ Footnote 24: Belton,[?
44021[ Footnote 37: Barkstone, Saltby,[?
44021[ Footnote 5: See my paper on''Who was Alice of Essex?''
44021[ Footnote 81: On what ground are the Bretons so described?
44021an actual transcript of these original returns, and if so, is it faithful?''
44021at St Neot''s, He died 1120. offshoot of Bec,| of his(?
44021in England and Normandy?
44021pro morte] ejus, emendetur 60 unciæ auri cocti, et per plagam[?
8745Am I to come again?
8745And am I to tell the king I have seen you?
8745And have made them prisoners?
8745And how did you live by the way?
8745And how is it that you, young sir, who seem to be younger than your companion, are the spokesman?
8745And if Harold died who would be likely to succeed him?
8745And is the rumour true which says that Tostig and Harold of Norway are also preparing for an invasion?
8745And my lord goes with it?
8745And the great earls and thanes are likewise of that opinion?
8745And what is there for me to do, my lord Wulf?
8745And what said you, Wulf?
8745And what said you, my lord, if I may be so bold as to ask?
8745And will you be barons like my father, or counts, or simple knights?
8745And you will support this usurper against me, Wulf?
8745And you, Master Gurth, will your stay down at Steyning be a long one?
8745And your sisters, do they too dress like us?
8745Are they all up?
8745Are we likely to go back to England soon, my lord?
8745Are we out at sea? 8745 Are you going to stay in London, Master Wulf?"
8745Are your wits wool- gathering altogether?
8745Art well assured of what you say, Ulf?
8745At what time will you reach York?
8745But is my happiness to go for nothing?
8745But what brings you here, father? 8745 But what can he gain from Harold?"
8745But who beside yourself could rule here?
8745Could you not take me down with you, young master? 8745 Could you put us ashore there, for we are anxious to reach the city as soon as possible?"
8745Did I not order you to rest quietly at York?
8745Do you feel ill?
8745Do you not see that I have brought Ulf with me, Osgod? 8745 Do you really mean it, Wulf?"
8745Do you think so?
8745Guy?
8745Have you told him what he is required for, Osgod?
8745How can we sail back again? 8745 How far is it, do you think?"
8745How far will you be from York when you anchor?
8745How fares it with you, Osgod? 8745 How is it that you are here?"
8745How long do you stay with us, my lord?
8745I suppose that is for us to lie under, Master Wulf?
8745I suppose you wish to get back to- night, Wulf?
8745I suppose you young warriors will bring your own men to Salisbury?
8745I thought you did not care for the gaieties of the court?
8745If you have nothing better,he said,"will you ride with me to my father''s castle, it is but five miles away?
8745Is aught troubling you, Ulred?
8745Is he dead?
8745Is it not strange that they should rise like this-- like a wall from the water?
8745Is it really you, father, in flesh and blood?
8745Is it serious?
8745Is there danger, father?
8745Is there no possibility of escaping, my lord?
8745Is this so?
8745Is your mission of importance to the duke as well as to yourselves?
8745It is Wulf of Steyning, is it not?
8745It is easy to vote that,she said quietly;"but will it be held to?
8745Know you who were the boys who had that contention just now?
8745May I be sure that whatever happens they will be safe?
8745Now which way shall we go? 8745 Now, fellow,"the count said to this man,"which is the Saxon Harold?"
8745See you, my lord, that opening right ahead of us? 8745 Shall we both go down together, the rope is strong enough?"
8745Shall we go back to Steyning, my lord, when we return home?
8745Shall you let them come up, master?
8745So Harold has sent for you, Wulf?
8745Still they will reassemble rapidly,she said,"when the Normans really come?"
8745That is true enough, but how in the world are we to climb that wall?
8745The answer of Harold''s ambassadors is, of course, a refusal?
8745The question is, are we to remain here until rumour carries the report of our capture of the place to Gurth, or shall we despatch messengers to him?
8745The question is, who are we to send? 8745 Then I may take him down with me, my lord?"
8745Then why do n''t we turn and sail back again? 8745 Then you think that there is danger of an attack upon me, Wulf?"
8745Think you that she will weather it, Edred?
8745Walter Fitz- Urse, what means this altercation?
8745Well, Guy, what is your news?
8745Well, Osgod, have you seen anything going on in the castle?
8745Well, Osgod,Wulf asked the next morning as they rode on their way,"how did you fare last night?"
8745Well, what think you of it, Beorn?
8745Were all your ships wrecked?
8745What are they doing?
8745What are you in such a hurry for?
8745What are you thinking of, Wulf?
8745What do you think he came here for, master?
8745What do you think we had better do, Wulf?
8745What does it matter?
8745What has happened?
8745What is a woman''s love or a woman''s life that they should stand in the way of the peace of England? 8745 What is all this?"
8745What is it you would say to me, Ulf? 8745 What is it, Wulf?"
8745What is the news, Edwyn?
8745What is the next thing to be done, Wulf?
8745What is this business of which the prior of Forges has sent me word?
8745What is this?
8745What is your news, Ernulf? 8745 What made you come down like that, you narrowly missed coming on my head?"
8745What news, Ulf,--hast seen Walter Fitz- Urse?
8745What say the leeches this morning, Beorn? 8745 What say you, master armourer?"
8745What shall we do with this old crone?
8745What think you yourself, Wulf?
8745What think you, Ulf?
8745What would happen if a gale were to burst upon us here?
8745What, then,Tostig asked,"shall be given to King Harold of Norway?"
8745When did you leave Beaurain?
8745When do you start, Master Wulf?
8745When does the army march?
8745When will the army be back here, master?
8745Where could it come from?
8745Where hast been?
8745Where have we got to now?
8745Where have you been, young thanes?
8745Where is he hurt?
8745Where is she?
8745Where shall we rest tonight?
8745Where shall we stop to- night?
8745Where will you sleep to- night?
8745Whither, think you, will they be bound, Ulf?
8745Who and what are these men, good Beorn?
8745Who is this you have with you, Harold?
8745Whom have we here?
8745Why, Cedric, do you not know me? 8745 Why, I thought you said that he certainly had not done so?"
8745Why, what means this, Osgod?
8745Will the troops of Northumbria be here?
8745Will you be back to- night, my lord,Osgod asked, as he mounted,"in case the king should wish to see you?"
8745Will you go at once?
8745Would you have known her again, Wulf?
8745You are bearers, doubtless, of some message from the king to our duke?
8745You do n''t like your work at the forge, Ulf?
8745You have done well, Ulf; but has not the boy questioned you as to your reasons for thus setting a watch on the Norman?
8745You have heard the news, I suppose?
8745You have not come to tell me that the blade I left with you yesterday can not be fitted with a new hilt, Master Ulred? 8745 You know, Ulf, that the Duke of Normandy desires the crown of England?"
8745You will be glad to be out of the forge for a bit, Ulf?
8745You would take the oath of allegiance to William then, Wulf?
8745Above all, will they submit to the rule of one of Godwin''s sons?
8745After making this great step, will they rest and abstain from taking the next?
8745And how did you manage to escape, young sirs, and when did you arrive with the news?"
8745And how is it, boys,"he went on, as the attendant hurried away,"that you were enabled to bear this message to me?"
8745And now, how think you shall we proceed?
8745And so you say Harold has already made you full thane?
8745And who is this youth with you?"
8745And you say Beorn is riding hither on the same errand?"
8745Are we going down to Steyning, my lord?"
8745Are you badly hurt, Beorn?"
8745Are you going to watch again this evening, boy?"
8745Are you sure that he has not passed out by the main gate?"
8745As for the South and East, who is to lead them?
8745As you are the earl''s pages you are of course of gentle blood?"
8745But how will you watch her?"
8745But is there not an obstacle?"
8745But what can it avail in the end?
8745But what is the consequence?
8745Can he ride?"
8745Can you add more, thanes?"
8745Canst thou help me?"
8745Do you remember that in Wales we agreed that it was always well to have a way of retreat in case of defeat?
8745Do you see those caverns at the foot of the cliff, and in some places you see there is a mound of rocks as if newly formed?
8745Do you think you are talking to a Norman serf?
8745Do you think you can do that?
8745Edith._""Is the distance far?"
8745Had it been my right arm I would as lief have been killed at once, for what good is a man without his right arm?"
8745Has Osgod fared equally well, I see that you have come without him?"
8745Has any plan occurred to you?"
8745Have you any witnesses that he did so?"
8745Have you aught to say to me before you go?"
8745How are the others?"
8745How long, think you, will this go on?"
8745How many, think you, are there in that approaching throng?"
8745How on earth can they get in?"
8745How shall we meet next time, I wonder, and where?"
8745How will it be when you have to stand the hardships of a soldier''s life?"
8745I pray you curb him in if you would not see me prone in the dust; and if I am disabled, who is to carry the earl''s message to the steward?"
8745I suppose Beorn has not arrived?"
8745I suppose, thanes, you will not object to give me your parole to attempt no escape?"
8745I wonder what the earl can want you for in such haste?"
8745Is Conrad of Ponthieu giving trouble again, and who are these young gentlemen with you?"
8745Is all well at home?"
8745Is he happy with his new queen?"
8745Is it long since you left England?"
8745Is it true that the army is broken up and the fleet scattered?"
8745Is the marriage to take place soon?"
8745Is there aught else that I can do for you?"
8745It contained but the words:"_ That God may bless my dear lord and king is the prayer of Edith._""Do you know where she is?"
8745Know you aught of them?"
8745May I pray you to come with me to my house, where I can enter upon it without fear of being overheard?"
8745Not a word was spoken for a minute or two, then he said:"Why have you come, Edith?
8745Now tell me, how is it that you have to ride again so suddenly when but just arrived?"
8745See you not, Wulf, there is but one way in which the feud can be healed?
8745Should aught happen to him, will you send a speedy messenger to me?"
8745So the levies fought well?"
8745Supposing he has gone, as I should think he has done, what then?"
8745Tell me frankly, what think the people of England of this monstrous act of perjury on the part of Harold?"
8745The Lady Agnes is well, I trust?"
8745The varlet saw that I did not know him, and said,''Canst mend me a broken dagger, master armourer?''
8745They paused a few paces away, and in a whisper one said:"Here are three fellows asleep; what shall we do with them?"
8745This Witenagemot that assembles to- morrow-- what will come of it?"
8745To them belonged the right of choosing their own monarch, and if they chose him, who was to say them nay?
8745To whom have I the pleasure of speaking?"
8745Ulf is well, I hope?
8745Was he there?"
8745Was the slaughter as great as they say at Stamford Bridge?"
8745We have been here nigh a week already, and why should he keep us here if we are not to be employed?"
8745Well, Agnes, and what have you to say to these Saxon youths?
8745What has been our loss?"
8745What have I got to live for?"
8745What have you to say to this?"
8745What is my happiness and my life that I should be an obstacle alike to my lord''s glory and the peace of England?
8745What is to be done, Beorn?"
8745What is to prevent our taking it?
8745What say you, thanes?"
8745What think you, boy?
8745What thinks the earl?"
8745What will men think of Norman faith when guests are thus tricked to their disadvantage?"
8745When did you leave him?"

8745Who, when he was gone, they asked, would he wish to wear the royal crown of England?
8745Why does n''t Llewellyn attack us instead of keeping his men gaping there at the castle?"
8745Why is our happiness to be sacrificed?
8745Why should so hopeless a struggle continue?
8745Why should the king be killed?
8745Why should the sons of Leofric and Godwin regard each other as rivals?
8745Why should there not be an end of this?"
8745Why should we be defeated?
8745Why should you be more anxious for him than he is for himself?"
8745Will they be content to remain under a West Saxon king?
8745You are sure that he can be trusted to keep silence regarding what I tell him?"
8745You are sure that he is not unhappy?
8745You do not have castles in England, do you?"
8745You have heard no news of her, I suppose?"
8745You have heard, I suppose, that William has promised me his daughter in marriage?"
8745You left your apprentice on the watch, I suppose?"
8745You remember Wulf''s man, Osgod?"
8745You were coming to fetch me?"
8745You will tell him no word of your suspicions, I suppose?"
