"If my lord values her health, 'twould be best to put her in a less windy chamber; the room is large and ill-heated for damp, spring days." "Canst keep her safe where she is?" "Aye, leave it to me, my lord." "And thou shalt allow of no communication with those outside, save her Grace, and Angel thou canst rely upon stay thou mayest allow Constance to keep my lady company."
They were not unlike, these two men, only Henri was younger and lighter, and where the King's eyes were gray Henri's were blue.

So Henri bowed and waited, and soon the King got up and shook hands with him.
