While the king was undressing, he heard Deesen's stentorian voice, calling out lustily through the streets "A tailor! a tailor! is there a tailor amongst the soldiers?" The king was scarcely covered up in bed before Deesen entered, with a joyous face. "Sire, I have found a soldier who can do the work; he is not a tailor, but he swears he can sew and patch, and he undertakes to dress the wounds."
