Henriet regarded them silently for a moment, looking with special approval upon the blonde curls and pink cheeks of the young Scottish lad. Machecoul was a vast feudal castle with one great central square tower and many smaller ones about it.
The result of the conference was that Mr. and Mrs. King returned to Boston with Henriet and her little one. Tulee had proved in many ways that her discretion might be trusted; and it was deemed wisest to tell her the whole story of the babe, who had been carried to the calaboose with her when Mr. Bruteman's agent seized her.
When Henriet returned and took the child, she looked at her very curiously. She was thinking to herself, "What would my father say?" But she asked no questions, and made no remark.
Among Court workers in 1384 were Perrin Gale, and Henriet Gautier. When one remembers the facilities for evening lighting in the middle ages, one fully appreciates the truth of this statement. Matthew Paris, in his Life of St. Alban, tells of an excellent embroideress, Christine, Prioress of Margate, who lived in the middle of the twelfth century. In the thirteenth century several names occur.
But in the meanwhile you are of our company and fellowship. So for God's sake and your own do as you are bid. Fare you well." As he followed Clerk Henriet, Laurence looked at the round pellet in his hand. It was white, soft like ripe fruit, of an elastic consistency, and of the largeness of a pea. As Laurence ascended the stairs, he heard the practice of the choir beginning in the chapel.
But his judge, habited in stern and simple black, was not in the least intimidated. Then came the great surprise. After the evidence of Henriet and Poitou had been read to him, the marshal was asked to plead. To the surprise of all, the accused claimed benefit of clergy. "I have been a great sinner," he said, "I have indeed deserved a thousand deaths. But now I am a man of God. I have confessed.
I will fight any of you or all of you with any weapons from a battering-ram to a toothpick and God assist the better man. And there you have Laurence O'Halloran, at your service!" "You are a loud-crowing young cock for a newcomer," said Henriet, the confidential clerk of the marshal, suddenly appearing in the doorway; "you are desired to follow me to my lord's chamber immediately.
King is going to send him 'cross the water on some gran' business, to pay him for 't; and Missy Rosy wants his wife to be 'spectable out there 'mong strangers." Henriet proved good-natured and unassuming, and, with occasional patronage from Tulee, she was generally able to keep her little boat in smooth water. When she had been there a few months Mr. King enclosed to Mrs.
Forthwith he turned his back upon him, glad at heart to have found some one to quarrel with, and hoping that the ambassador's squire might prove courageous and challenge him to fight on the morrow. But the man only replied: "I am Henriet, servant of the marshal. I bid you remember that I shall make you live to regret these words."
"What a lady you are! I can hardly believe this is the little Hen I used to make mud pies with." She laughed as she answered: "You are changed, too. If I have improved, it is owing to these kind friends. Only think of it, George, though Mrs. King is such a handsome and grand lady, she always called me Mrs. Falkner." Mrs. King made several appropriate parting presents to Henriet and little Hetty.
