 with you. I made Dame Nan teach me a few words, but I never could
remember anything but that "mercy" is "thank ye". However, Merrycourt
offered to come with me, and my Lord wished it. Moreover, I thought he
might aid in tracing you out. So I saw my Lord alone, and he passed his
word to me that, come what would, no one should persuade him to alter
his will to do wrong to Berenger's daughter; and so soon as Master Hobbs
could get the THROSTLE unladen, and fitted out again, we sailed for
Bordeau, and there he is waiting for us, while Clause and I bought
horses and hired a guide, and made our way here on Saturday, where we
were very welcome; and the Duchess said she would but wait till she
could learn there were no bands of the enemy at hand, to go down with me
herself to the place where she had sent the lady. A right worthy dame is
this same Duchess, and a stately; and that young King, as they call him,
seems hard to please, for he told Berry that his wife's courtliness and
ease in his reception were far above aught that he found here. What
he means is past a plain man, for as to Berry's wife she is handy, and
notable enough, and 'tis well he loves her so well; but what a little
brown thing it is, for a man to have gone through such risks for.
Nothing to look at beside his mother!'

'If you could only see Madame de Selinville!' sighed Philip; then--'Ah!
sir, you would know the worth of Eustacie had you seen her in yonder
town.'

'Very like!' said Sir Marmaduke; 'but after all our fears at home of a
fine court madam, it takes one aback to see a little homely brown thing,
clad like a serving wench. Well, Dame Nan will not be displeased, she
always said the girl would grow up no beauty, and 'tis the way of
women to brook none fairer than themselves! Better so. She is a good
Protestant, and has done rarely by you, Phil.'

'Truly, I might be glad 'twas no court mad
with you. I made Dame Nan teach me a few words, but I never could 
 remember anything but that " mercy " is " thank ye ". However, Merrycourt 
 volunteer to hail with me, and my Lord wished it. Moreover, I thought he 
 might help in tracing you out. So I experience my Lord alone, and he passed his 
 news to me that, come what would, no one should persuade him to interpolate 
 his will to do wrong to Berenger's daughter; and so soon as Master Hobbs

 herself to the place where she had sent the dame. A right worthy dame is

 notable enough, and' tis well he loves her thus well; but what a little 
 brown thing it is, for a world to have go through such risks for. 
 Nothing to look at beside his mother!' 

' If you could only determine Madame de Selinville!' sighed Philip; then--'Ah! 
 sir, you would know the worth of Eustacie had you seen her in yonder 
 town.' 

' Very like!' say Sir Marmaduke;' but after all our fears at home of a 
 fine court madam, it takes one aback to visualize a little homely brown thing, 
 clad like a serving wench. Well, Dame Nan will not be displeased, she 
 always suppose the girlfriend would grow up no beauty, and' tis the way of 
 charwoman to brook none fairer than themselves! Better therefore. She is a good 
 Protestant, and has done rarely by you, Phil.'
