Yung Lo, when he heard of this second failure, was very wroth, and at once ordered Kuan Yu into his presence, and told him he would give him a third and last trial, and if he did not succeed this time he would behead him. Kuan Yu went home in a despairing state of mind, asking himself what crime he or any of his ancestors could have committed to have justified this calamity.
In the narrow and gloomy depths of his soul he had doubtless persuaded himself that it was necessary for the redemption of the human species that the empire of the world should be vested in his hands, that Protestantism in all its forms should be extirpated as a malignant disease, and that to behead, torture, burn alive, and bury alive all heretics who opposed the decree of himself and the Holy Church was the highest virtue by which he could merit Heaven.

The weak thread of his patience broke, and in a fearful passion he commanded the guards to behead me at once.
"Nails grow slowly," he muttered. Then he strolled away whistling, and I set about chopping wood. A little later Solem returned across the farmyard with a cackling hen under his arm. He went to the kitchen window and called: "This the kind of hen you want me to kill?" "Yes," was the reply. Solem came back to the woodshed and asked me for the ax, as he wanted to behead a few hens.
'Well, if I must, I must, the King said, with a melancholy air, and, after folding his arms and frowning at the cook till his eyes were nearly out of sight, he said in a deep voice, 'What are tarts made of?
