"I hated to think that you dropped Mr. Dalton in the fountain. I hated to think that you wanted to burn him at the stake there was something cruel and dreadful in it all.
"Ho he! Master Joachim de Ladehors! Ho he! Louis Dahuille! Ho he Lambert Hoctement!" "May the devil stifle the procurator of the German nation!" "And the chaplains of the Sainte-Chapelle, with their gray amices; cum tunices grisis!" "Seu de pellibus grisis fourratis!" "Hola he! Masters of Arts! All the beautiful black copes! all the fine red copes!" "They make a fine tail for the rector."
The tables were by this time nearly covered, but all stood waiting, for there flowed in from the great doorway of the hall a gorgeous train first, a man bearing the double archiepiscopal cross of York, fashioned in silver, and thick with gems then, with lofty mitre enriched with pearls and jewels, and with flowing violet lace-covered robes came the sturdy square-faced ruddy prelate, who was then the chief influence in England, and after him two glittering ranks of priests in square caps and richly embroidered copes, all in accordant colours.
