Wait . '' ' `` But the King may give Pevensey to Fulke . And our Manors go with it , '' said I. `` Shall we tell our sons ? '' ' `` No . The King will not wake up a hornets ' nest in the South till he has smoked out the bees in the North . He may hold me a traitor ; but at least he sees I am not fighting against him ; and every day that I lie still is so much gain to him while he fights the Barons . If he were wise he would wait till that war were over before he made new enemies . But I think Fulke will play upon him to send for me , and if I do not obey the summons , that will , to Henry 's mind , be proof of my treason . But mere talk , such as Gilbert sends , is no proof nowadays . We Barons follow the Church , and , like Anselm , we speak what we please . Let us go about our day 's dealings , and say naught to Gilbert . '' ' `` Then we do nothing ? '' said Hugh . ' `` We wait , '' said De Aquila . `` I am old , but still I find that the most grievous work I know . '' ` And so we found it , but in the end De Aquila was right . ' A little later in the year , armed men rode over the hill , the Golden Horseshoes flying behind the King 's banner . Said De Aquila , at the window of our chamber : `` How did I tell you ? Here comes Fulke himself to spy out his new lands which our King hath promised him if he can bring proof of my treason . '' ' `` How dost thou know ? ''
