He has been joking and teasing me to declare that we have a dead Prince hidden somewhere, and that the King showed him the brick-bat woman's child." "How can you prattle in that mischievous way after what Lady Strickland said, too? You do not know what harm you may do!" "Oh lack, it was all a jest!" "I am not so sure that it was." "But you will not tell of me, dear friend, you will not.
