The boys are taken away by the elders of the tribe, subjected to many trials of patience and endurance of pain and discomfort, sometimes involving even the swallowing of urine and excrement, brought into contact with strange tribes, taught the laws and folk-lore, and at the end meetings are held at which betrothals are arranged.
The Archbishop's eyes twinkled as he looked across the table at Hildegunde. "This seems to be a time of Royal betrothals," he said, raising his flagon. "'Seems' is the right word, Guardian," replied the Countess. Then she sipped the ancient wine of Caub. Next morning Hildegunde was early afoot.
