On the west side, near the outer archway, is a cinquefoiled recess, with shafts of Purbeck marble and foliated cusps.
"Take care of him, Deio," he added, in good, broad Welsh, "and I will pay you well for your trouble," and, with a pat on Captain's flank and a douceur in Deio's ready palm, he turned to leave the yard. Looking back from under the archway which opened into the street, with a parting injunction to Roberts to "take care of him," he turned up the dusty High Street.
Suddenly there broke on his musing the clatter of horse-hoofs, and a gay young page came spurring with bent head under the low archway.

He left the penny on the counter, and shook the flour-dust from his fingers, and, stealing with side glances of dread into the street, he sped away once more. He had no knowledge of localities.
