And he would have said more of the same kind if Heloise's face had not warned him not to proceed further with his teasing. So instead of girth he spoke of Abelard's forehead, which he admitted to be of the Socratic type in its amplitude; but he averred that the likeness between the two men ceased at the forehead, for whereas Socrates was of the ascetic temperament, AWlard was by his face notably a free liver, a disparagement that seemed to H&oise like a challenge. She asked the Canon to mention a feature that would testify to the truth of this, and the spirit of battle being upon him he could not keep back the words: his long, loose mouth. You never spoke to me before of Aboard as one divided between free living and philosophy. Nor is it many minutes since you were speaking of him as the intellectual descendant of Aristotle and Plato; your present sneers of him cannot be else than an attempt to anger me and maybe we would do better to talk of matters on which we are agreed.
