"Thou wouldst not reckon, then, that he counted Master Matthew as a fabled man that was not alive?" "Nay, surely!" said Amphillis, laughing.
Of this crime Lady Foljambe made the most. "Now, Avena," said the Countess, as peremptorily as her languor permitted, "hearken me, and be no more of a fool than thou canst help. Now beware, and be wise. And if it need more, then mind thou" and the tone grew regal "that Amphillis Neville is my servant, not thine, and that I choose not she be removed from me.

"'Tis a good charm," said he.
As Amphillis sat by the window, she now and then lifted her head to look out for a moment; and she did so now, hearing the faint ring of a horn in the distance. Her eyes lighted on a party of horsemen, who were coming up the valley.
Blessing them in the usual priestly manner, he commanded them to rise, and Sir Godfrey then presented his sons and squire, while Lady Foljambe did the same for the young ladies. "Mistress Margaret Foljambe, my son's wife, an' it please your Grace; and Mistress Perrote de Carhaix, my head chamberer. These be my bower-women, Agatha de La Beche and Amphillis Neville."
