Here was a stout timber bridge on four piers, over which our road ran; and it was on the west side of the bridge that my lord stayed, it being a convenient place to send fit messengers to my lord duke to tell of our approach. Therefore a courtly gentleman of my lord's retinue by name De Norrey with a groom were sent forward in advance.
And Henry Norrey s, enjoying the brief respite from a life of great labour, was gladly reminded of idle hours under rosy skies; for these three men had formed their friendship in Italy, where the bands of friendship are woven by the hands of the Graces. Leonard and Mr. Burley walked on into the suburbs round the north road from London, and Mr.

"What villain hath done this?" cried the vicomte, in hot anger. "With my men will I scour the land till I track him." "Ah, my lord vicomte," I said, "this is the work of Maugher, that I saw lurking in Coutances. And I grieve that thy good Sieur de Norrey should thus die by a stroke that was aimed at me."

Every fibre of my frame recognized the moment of parting, and protested.
