I came here to make up the tale of six tobe
hanged.
Is he, too, to be spared andpetted and fed and have
a gown from you? Leave me to settle my businesswith your henpecked
husband.
Nothing remained for me to do but to
correctFroissarts follies and translate Rodin into words. The five burgesses kneel
gratefully to the Queen. Banquet them: feast them: give them my crown, my kingdom.
The three men-at-arms carry Peter to the King, and fling him down. Do you expect me
torecommend you to his mercy if you forget yourself in this
unseemlyfashion?
Thelaugh spreads to all the soldiers and
courtiers.
The six old men havecome out in their shirts with
ropes round their necks. I had been mistaken in thinking thatI could see clearly
into my own heart.
Then theyfling him on his side, where he lies
helpless. There is no insult that he did not heap on me. Do not keep them too long
in the cold, dearest sir. Well,this time you shall not be disappointed.
His paroxysm of tears has completelydischarged his
ill temper.
Ihave said that no man of gentle condition and
noble blood shall bedenied quarter and ransom. Mend you manners first, sir; and then
mend your linen;or you shall have no countenance from me. No, by all the saints in
heaven and devils in hell.
Do your worst, dame: I like your spunkbetter than
his snivel. Ihave said that no man of gentle condition and noble blood shall
bedenied quarter and ransom.
They will be colder presently; so you need not
troubleabout that. And so what I had supposed to meannothing to me was the only
thing in my whole life. Well,I will bend the necks of your burgesses when the
hangman has brokenyours. Have I not done all that Christian chivalry could require
of me? Remember: it is good policy to build a bridge of silver fora flying
foe.
Well,I will bend the necks of your burgesses when
the hangman has brokenyours.
Well, is that a reason why I should give and grant,
grantand give, for ever?
