He married a wife, to his own ruin \nindeed, as it afterwards appeared; for, hearing certain rumors respecting her, he was vexed with the spirit of Jealousy. Anxious to ascertain the truth of these reports, he pretended to be going on a journey from which he \nwould not return for some days; but coming back in the evening, he was privily introduced into his bedroom by a \nmaid-servant, who was in the secret, and lay hidden on a beam verhanging, his wife's chamber, that he might \nprove with his own eyes if anything were done to the dishonor of his marriage-bed. Thereupon beholding his wife in the act of fornication with a young man of the neighborhood, and in his indignation forgetful of his purpose, \nhe fell, and was dashed heavily to the ground, near where they were lying. \n\nThe adulterer himself leaped up and escaped; but the wife, cunningly dissembling the fact, busied herself in \ngently raising her fallen husband from the earth. As soon as he had partially recovered, he upbraided her with \nher adultery, and threatened punishment; but she answering, \"Explain yourself, my lord,\" said she; \"you are speaking unbecomingly which must be imputed not to you, but to the sickness with which you are troubled.\" Being much shaken by the fall, and his whole body stupefied, he was attacked with a disease, insomuch that the man whom I have mentioned as having related these facts to me visiting him in the pious discharge of his duties, \nadmonished him to make confession of his sins, and receive the Christian Eucharist in proper form: but as he was \noccupied in thinking about what had happened to him, and what his wife had said, put off the wholesome advice \nuntil the morrow -- that morrow which in this world he was fated never to behold! -- for the next night, destitute of Christian grace, and a prey to his well-earned misfortunes, he shared the deep slumber of death. A Christian burial, indeed, he received, though unworthy of it; but it did not much benefit him: for issuing, by the handiwork of Satan, from his grave at night-time, and pursued by a pack of dogs with horrible barkings, he \nwandered through the courts and around the houses while all men made fast their doors, and did not dare to go \nabroad on any errand whatever from the beginning of the night until the sunrise, for fear of meeting and being \nbeaten black and blue by this vagrant monster. But those precautions were of no avail ; for the atmosphere, poisoned by the vagaries of this foul carcass, filled every house with disease and death by its pestiferous breath.\n\nWilliam of Newburgh: Book Five (12th Century A.D.)" } }, "Identified": { "type": "byte", "value": 1 }, "LocalizedName": { "type": "cexolocstring", "value": { "0": "Of certain prodigies" } }, "ModelPart1": { "type": "byte", "value": 4 }, "PaletteID": { "type": "byte", "value": 60 }, "Plot": { "type": "byte", "value": 0 }, "PropertiesList": { "type": "list", "value": [] }, "StackSize": { "type": "word", "value": 1 }, "Stolen": { "type": "byte", "value": 0 }, "Tag": { "type": "cexostring", "value": "custombook027" }, "TemplateResRef": { "type": "resref", "value": "custombook027" } }
