I watched Arnald as we came in, there was no triumph on his stern white face, but resolution enough, he had made up his mind. They placed her on a seat in the midst of the hall over against the dais. He said, "Unbind her, Florian." They did so, she raised her face, and glared defiance at us all, as though she would die queenly after all.
Sir Florian, as he had handed to her the stones for the purpose of a special dinner party which had been given to them when passing through London, had told her that they were family jewels. "That setting was done for my mother," he said, "but it is already old. When we are at home again they shall be reset."
"Hurrah! only mist," said Amald, quite elated; "Mary rings!" and we all began to think of fighting: for after all what joy is equal to that? There were five hundred of us; two hundred spears, the rest archers; and both archers and men at arms were picked men. "How many of them are we to expect?" said I. "Not under a thousand, certainly, probably more, Sir Florian."
These five have definitely been snooped." "And two choices among them," Ashe murmured. That was the important point now.

He made all kinds of jokes with them, to which they responded with giggles and a funny little half-courtesy, half-nod.

To him the matter afforded much gratification, since it offered a quick and easy way of getting rid of Florian, and of making the way easier towards the accomplishment of his own purposes.
