"What need is there of priest to help us two English on our way to God?" From the bed set high on a dais came eerie spasms of laughter, a harsh cackle like fowls at feeding time. "Is that the last of them, Anton?" said a voice. A little serving-man with an apple-hued face bowed in reply.
Grasshopper was a blood relation of Dais Imid, or He of the Little Shell, and had heard of what had passed between that giant and his kinsman. After wandering a long time he came to the lodge of Manabozho, who was absent.
George had to see him extend his hand and assist her beside him upon the dais. In the absence of her father she was obliged to stand alone. Then the little figure in rose and silver and one of the daughters of the peers advanced and lifted her veil, and St. George wanted to shout with sudden exultation. This then was she so near, so near.
As he drew near he bowed and performed certain peculiar movements, apparently of a ceremonious nature. Then he ascended the steps of the dais, and stood by the apparatus at the end of the table. Graham watched that visible inaudible conversation. Occasionally, one of the white-robed men would glance towards him. He strained his ears in vain.
There were some three hundred guests at that feast, and it was a wondrous fair sight to me as I stood on the high place and saw them gather. The long table behind which I was ran right across the dais, rich with gold and silver and glass work: and below this, all down the hall, ran long tables again, set lengthwise, that none might have their backs to the king.
A buzz of suppressed laughter followed, which as instantly ceased, for the marquis looked angrily around. 'Stand forth, Tom Fool, he said. Through the crowd came Tom, and stood before the dais, looking frightened and sheepish. 'Sure I am, Tom, thou didst never go to steal a mare of thine own notion: who went with thee? said the marquis. 'Mr. Scudamore, my lord, answered Tom. 'Ha, Rowland!
On the dais also stood aside a score of men weaponed, and looking as if they were awaiting the word which should send them forth on some errand. Now stood up Folk-might and said: 'Fair greeting and love to my friend and the daughter of my Folk! How farest thou, Bow-may, best of all friendly women?
Dear me, dear me!" Back in his room, Philip resumed his wig and gown and returned to the Court-house. The place was now lit up by candlelight and densely crowded. Everybody rose to his feet as the Deemster stepped to the dais. "Come, Bridget, Saint Bridget, come in at my door, The crock's on the bink and the rush " "She's fast," said Nancy.
On the dais the impression was somewhat different; but all were one in this, that every eye was fixed on lord Herbert, every thought hanging on his pleasure. For a whole minute he stood, apparently lost in meditation. The bat still rested on his hand, but his wings were still. He had intended causing it to settle on Amanda's head, but now he must alter his plan.
The other tables, below the dais, were of the rudest description, and stained with accumulations of grease and ale; and no wonder, since trenchers were not, and each man hacked a gobbet for himself from the huge pieces of beef carried round on spits nor would the guests have had any objection, during a campaign, to cook the meat in the fashion described by Froissart, between themselves and the saddle.
