He was disappointed at not finding the monk, but not sorry Sir Oliver stood vindicated.

He set himself down to the board with a hearty goodwill; but the baron refused the proffered hospitality of his rival, and summoned his attendants about him.
"I will say farewell this time, Sir Oliver," he said haughtily.
"But remember I still hold that we have only been foiled by your cunning; not that you are innocent in this matter.

If ever I can prove this thing against you, I shall do so; and I recommend the reverend prior to keep his watch still upon this house, as I fully believe yon traitor monk is in hiding here." "And I, my lord baron," said Sir Oliver proudly, "will give you fair warning that I will speedily to the king, to lay before him the history of this day and the insults to which I have been subjected through you and your groundless suspicions of me.

I have not resisted what you have chosen to do, knowing well the use you would have made of such resistance.

But I have not forgotten the many acts of aggression and hostility of which you have been guilty; and this last day's work, in which your servants have made themselves, as it were, masters of Chad, shall be answered for at some future day.
