"Was he mean to you?" Elizabeth asked.
"He was, but was much meaner to other. I had some
protection because I was Court Scribe. Others were
not so fortunate. And Michel was really cruel toward
animals. He seemed to take great delight in
tormenting them. Particularly cats. He really hated
cats for some reason. He was always finding strays
and throwing them off the castle walls…"
"That's horrible!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
Abernathy nodded. "I told him so. Then one day I
caught him doing something so unspeakable that even
now I cannot bear to talk about it. In any case, that
was the end of my patience. I picked up that boy,
turning him over my knee, and spanked him with a
switch until he howled! I did not think about what I
was doing, I just did it. When I was finished, he ran
screaming from the room, furious at me for what I had
done to him."
"Well, he deserved it. " Elizabeth announced certain
of it even without knowing what it was he had done.
"Nevertheless, it was a terrible mistake on my part,"
Abernathy continued. "I should have left well enough
alone and simply advised the King on his return. The
King was gone, you see, and Michel had been left to
the care of Meeks. He went immediately to Meeks,
therefore, and demanded that I be punished. He wanted
my hand cut off. Meeks, I learned later, laughed and
agreed. Meeks never cared much for me, you see. He
felt I influenced the old King against him. So Michel
summoned his guards and they came looking for me.
There was no one to protect me. Meeks was acting
regent in the King's absence. I would most certainly
have had my hand removed had they found me.
