Cadell ran from the hall. Filled with terror, he got together some of the men of the bishop, and they searched where the burnt body had been laid. It was not there. Back to the hall came the chaplain. Goronwy still sat over the fire warming and then folding and unfolding his hands. "He is gone. He is not where we buried him," gasped Cadell. "Oh, he is gone! I told you Pabo was alive. He is walking to and fro--when the moon shines you may see him. When it is dark he will come on you unawares, from behind, and seize you." Cadell cowered in alarm. "I would to Heaven I were out of this place!" he gasped. "Now, mark you," said Goronwy. "Get the promise of this Archpriesthood for me, and I will deliver Pabo, risen from the dead, into your hands, and, if he desire it also, Morwen into the arms of Rogier." CHAPTER XIII IT MUST BE MAINTAINED Rogier broke into a roar of laughter, when Cadell, with white face and in agitated voice, told him that Pabo was not dead. "'Sdeath!" he exclaimed. "I never quite believed that he was." "Not that he was dead?" cried the chaplain. "Did you ever see a man burnt as black as a coal and live after it?" "That was not he. I doubted it then." "It must have been he. He was buried as a dog in a dungheap, and"--Cadell lowered his voice--"he is no longer there." "Because these fellows here have removed the body and laid it in consecrated ground. It was a trick played on us, clever in its way, though I was not wholly convinced. Now I shall let them understand what it is to play jokes with me. I can joke as well." "But what do you mean, Rogier?" "That these Welsh rogues have endeavored to make us believe that the old Archpriest is dead, so that our vengeance might be disarmed and he allowed to escape. He is in hiding somewhere. Where is that fellow who informed you?" "Nothing further is to be got out of him." "We shall see." "I pray you desist. He may be useful to us; but it must not be suspected that he is in treaty with us." "There is some reason in this. I shall find out without his aid." "Do nothing till I have seen the bishop. He will be very distressed--angry. For I assured him that a miracle had been wrought. It was such an important miracle. It showed to all that Heaven was on our side." Rogier laughed. "We can cut and carve for ourselves without the help of miracles," said he. "I shall go at once," said Cadell; "the bishop must be communicated with immediately--and his pleasure known."
