It was in that year that the duke, their liege lord, bade all his vassals to a great festival to be held in his castle, and many of them took their sons with them, to show them some of the customs of chivalry. Amys and Amyle went with the rest, and endless were the mistakes made about them.
Sir William and Lady Amys he knew to be still in the house of mourning; he presumed that May Tomalin had not gone away, and it taxed his imagination to picture the terms on which she lived with Constance. At the funeral, no doubt, he would see them both; probably would have to exchange words with them an embarrassing necessity. Hollingford, of course, was full of gossip about the dead woman.
"Will you tell me its provisions?" asked Lashmar, deliberately. "In confidence. It won't be made public till the executors Sir William Amys and Mr. Kerchever have proved it. I never knew a more public-spirited will. Hollingford gets a hospital, to be called the Lady Ogram; very generously endowed. Rivenoak is to be sold, and the proceeds to form a fund for a lot of Lady Ogram Scholarships.
At the foot of the stairs, she paused; on her forehead stood little points of sweat, and her lips betrayed the painful effort with which she continued to stand upright. "May" she looked into the girl's face "if I don't come when the luncheon bell rings, you will excuse me to Sir William and Lady Amys, and take my place at table."
"But now they will aid you, in the land of the Saxon as in that of the Frank." "How?" cried a stray voice or two. "Hush, O gentilz amys. Forward, then, O my liege, and spare them in nought. He who has hitherto supplied you with two good mounted soldiers, will now grant you four; and he who "
Then, all bleeding as he was, the false Amys cut off the head of the traitor, and gave it to the duke, proving to him and to all the court that the right had conquered. But hardly had he done so when, faint from loss of blood, he fell senseless on the ground, and was carried into the palace, where the duke's best leeches were called in to attend him.
It was not long before her quick-glancing eyes beheld Sir Amys lying under a tree by the side of a stream, but in her guile she took no heed of him, but turned away and entered a little wood. 'I can sleep now, she said, stretching herself on a bank of soft moss. 'Listen to the birds, how sweetly they sing!
May, instead of directly answering his last question, allowed her eyes to meet his for a second. Then she said: "Some people are coming to us this afternoon." "To stay? Who are they?" "Sir William and Lady Amys and Lord Dymchurch " "Dymchurch! Lady Ogram has invited him?" "He would hardly come to stay without being invited," said May, archly. "But I thought you most likely knew.
Some time in the Middle Ages there lived in the Duchy of Lombardy, which, as everybody knows, is part of Italy, two knights, who loved each other like brothers. And, what is more to be wondered at, their wives were the best friends in the world. To complete the happiness of the two couples, two little boys were born to them on the same day, and they were given the names of Amys and Amyle.
But by-and-by he too fell from lack of sleep, and when Sir Amyle was returning home through the forest after a day's hunting, he discovered his brother stretched across the path in the shade of a tree. Joy at meeting gave new life to Sir Amys, and, sitting up, he told his friend all his woes, and how he dare not fight with a false oath on his conscience.
