Explore "Pabo, the Priest: in Ogofau" by Sabine Baring-Gould on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the darkness, Goronwy was lurking about the church. He was the first to communicate to Rogier that Morwen had taken sanctuary. The Norman, angry, bade him watch and not suffer her to leave without informing him whither she had betaken herself. She could not remain there indefinitely. It was a custom that sanctuary held for seven days and nights, and that if the clergy could not send away a refugee during that time, the right of protection afforded by the sacredness of the precincts ceased in that particular case.
Rogier was wounded in his vanity, but not greatly concerned. He was certain that she could not escape him eventually.
