Sean Pertwee: Hugh Beringar

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Hugh Beringar : I would know more of you, Cadfael. In this new town of mine I shall need a good friend. And I can think of none better than a rare Benedictine.

  Brother Cadfael : Then in this end there is a beginning as well. And that is as it should be.

• Brother Cadfael : I wonder about you too. A natural conspirator, I'd say.

  Hugh Beringar : Yes, well, one knows another.

• Hugh Beringar : [he comes upon Cafdael working in his herb garden]  A pleasant change from harvesting dead men, brother.

  Brother Cadfael : I hope we've finished with *that* kind of crop in Shrewsbury.

• [Cadfael and Hugh return to Cadfael's workshop] 

  Brother Cadfael : Would you like to taste my wine?

  Hugh Beringar : Oh, gladly! And I'll drink to your better success, against all opponents but Hugh Beringar.

  Brother Cadfael : [finding his wine]  This at least the mercenaries missed...

  [Hugh opens the treasure sack, and finds nothing inside except stones] 

  Hugh Beringar : And I've been commiserating with you all this time, when you had this in store for me! What a fool I was to think I could out-trick you...

  Brother Cadfael : [handing him wine]  Now I'll drink to your better success, against all opponents but Cadfael.

• Hugh Beringar : [as he and Cadfael watch Godith and Torold depart]  You'll miss her.

  Brother Cadfael : Like a fiber gone from my heart.

• Hugh Beringar : They say you had a wide-ranging career before coming to the cloister. You must find it unbearably dull here after such battles, with no enemy left to fight.

  Brother Cadfael : Well, I'm not finding it at all dull these days.

• Brother Cadfael : Is there something here I can help you to? Or are you just curious to learn about these simple herbs of mine?

  Hugh Beringar : I'd hardly say it was any simplicity I came to study.

• Hugh Beringar : [after Adam Courcelles has been killed in the trial-by-combat]  I trust I've proven my case?

  King Stephen : Your opponent proved it for you, all too well.

• Brother Cadfael : We deal with what is. Leave what might have been to eyes that can see it plainly.

  Hugh Beringar : And none see plainer than yours.

• Hugh Beringar : [before the trial-by-combat begins]  I knew you wouldn't fail me.

  Brother Cadfael : Now see that *you* don't fail *me*.

  Hugh Beringar : No dread. I shall never be readier, and your arm will be seconding mine.

  Brother Cadfael : Yes, at every stroke.
