Edward, on whom years and infirmity had increased of late with rapidravage, heard Harold's request with a grave and deep attention, whichhe seldom vouchsafed to earthly affairs. And he remained long silentafter his brother-in-law had finished;--so long silent, that the Earl, at first, deemed that he was absorbed in one of those mystic andabstracted reveries, in which, more and more as he grew nearer to theborders of the World Unseen, Edward so strangely indulged. But, looking more close, both h...e and Gurth were struck by the evidentdismay on the King's face, while the collected light of Edward's coldeye showed that his mind was awake to the human world. In truth, itis probable that Edward, at that moment, was recalling rash hints, ifnot promises, to his rapacious cousin of Normandy, made during hisexile. And, sensible of his own declining health, and the tenderyears of the young Edgar, he might be musing over the terriblepretender to the English throne, whose claims his earlier indiscretionmight seem to sanction.
