Perhaps it was that identical cloak or gown which hung upon the arm of Bertram Lyngern, just outside the postern gate. "Nay, good friend!" objected Le Despenser, with his customary kindly consideration.
His father sentenced him to death, and if Richard had not interposed, Henry would not have lived to depose his benefactor. "How true is the saying," cried poor Richard in his agony, "that we have no greater enemy than the man whom we save from the gallows!" See Creton's MS. Bibl. Imp. 8448-2 Ambassades. "Great your strength, if great your need." Henry Kirke White.
