While Mrs Margaret was selecting from the stock of gipsers a pretty red velvet one with a silver clasp, price half-a-crown, Perrote came quietly into the hall, and stood beside Amphillis, a little behind Lady Foljambe, who had not heard her entrance. "Here are de alners, Madame," said the lively little Breton. "Blue, green, black, white, red, tawny, violet. Will your Ladyship choose?
Here is brooches, crespines, charms, spectacles, alners, balls, puppets, coffers, bells, baskets for de maids' needlework, pins, needles, ear-rings, shoe-buckles, buttons everyting! And here here is my beautifullest ting my chiefest relic, in de leetle silver box see!"
"Only, if so poor man may say it, it is full pleasant to see face dat man know in strange land. Madame, would it please your Ladyship to regard de alners?" Lady Foljambe was only too glad to turn Ivo's attention back to the alners. She bought six for presents they were a favourite form of gift; and picked out twenty buttons of silver-gilt, stamped with an eagle.
Yet had the man meant mischief, he would scarcely have been so communicative. However that might be, Lady Foljambe determined to get him out of the house as quickly as possible. "I lack but little of thy sort," she said. "Howbeit, thou mayest show us thine alners and thy buttons." "I would fain have a gipser," said Mrs Margaret.
