And after he had spoken of these things the King came in timidly from the parlour, and stood by the door; I could see the pallour of his face against the hangings. "Come in, my lord King," said Master Richard very faintly. "I have done what was to be done, and there now is nothing but to make an end." The King knelt down at the further side of the bed.

"Well; but dost thou know what He teaches? Is He as dear to thee as thine earthly love?" "No."

Some one at that instant called Richard, in that subdued tone that people use about a house in which there is one dead. "I have got to go," he said, uneasily. I still kept hold of his hand.
