Trapes had gone down-stairs, very silent and with head a-droop, then, slow and heavily, turned and opened his door, but paused to speak over his shoulder in a hoarse whisper.

"And me a thief, master?" sighed Roger, "I that am thy man, that would but have borrowed " "Peace!" cried Beltane, "hence begone, and leave me to my thoughts!"
