"Cruel!" says my Beltane, and thereafter fell silent from sheer amaze the while she sighed again, and bowed her shapely head and plucked a daisy from the grass to turn it about and about in gentle fingers. "So, Beltane," quoth she at last, "being young and cruel thou did'st leave the Duchess a lonely maid.
"Nay, nay," said the King; "what John the True does is for our good. Wherefore did'st thou do that, John?" "That I must not say," said John the True.
