Kadmiel smiled grimly . ' I sent him word from London that the Lord was on my side . When he heard that the Plague had broken out in Pevensey , and that a Jew had been thrust into the Castle to cure it , he understood my word was true . He and Adah hurried to Lewes and asked me for an accounting . He still looked on the gold as his own . I told them where I had laid it , and I gave them full leave to pick it up ... Eh , well ! The curses of a fool and the dust of a journey are two things no wise man can escape ... But I pitied Elias ! The King was wroth with him because he could not lend ; the Barons were wroth too because they heard that he would have lent to the King ; and Adah was wroth with him because she was an odious woman . They took ship from Lewes to Spain . That was wise ! ' ` And you ? Did you see the signing of the Law at Runnymede ? ' said Puck , as Kadmiel laughed noiselessly . ` Nay . Who am I to meddle with things too high for me ? I returned to Bury , and lent money on the autumn crops . Why not ? ' There was a crackle overhead . A cock-pheasant that had sheered aside after being hit spattered down almost on top of them , driving up the dry leaves like a shell . Flora and Folly threw themselves at it ; the children rushed forward , and when they had beaten them off and smoothed down the plumage Kadmiel had disappeared .
` Well , ' said XXXXX calmly , ` what did you think of it ?
