Richard was not present, nor any of his faction; they, because they had not been advertised, he, because he was in the Street of the Camel at the knees of Jehane the Fair. The Archduke began on the instant.
King Richard came out of church, and Jehane, and the child carried on a shield. Jehane, who had much ado to walk without falling, saw not Gilles; but Gilles saw her, and the red in his face took a tinge of black.
Messire Bertran de Born loved me, and so did my cousin the Count of Provence, and the Count of Orange, and Raimbaut, and Gaucelm, and Ebles of Ventadorn. Now I have found one colder than ever I was, and I am burning. Are you a great lover of the King? At this question, put so quietly, Jehane grew grave. It took her above her sense of dangers, being in itself a dignity.
'Madame, Jehane said, 'he could be offended; but so would you be. The Queen-Mother tightened hold. 'I am not easily offended, mistress, she said, and smiled rather bleakly. Jehane also smiled, but with patience, not trying to get free her wrist. 'My blood would offend you. You dare not bleed me. 'Death in life! the Queen cried, 'is there any but the King to stop me now?
Some persons seem to belong out of doors and Molly was one of them. Her clear, fine complexion could stand the searchlight of the brightest sun, her hair was like burnished gold, her eyes, Philippe thought, like the bluets in the fields of Normandy.

At this time a great black, the chief of the eunuchs, came and touched her on the shoulder. 'Whither now, friend? said Jehane.

'God chooses the king, says Richard, 'or so we choose to believe. 'Then God must appoint the wife, Jehane said, and tried to get free. But this could not be allowed, as she knew. She was gentle with him, reasoning.
But strange as the bridal had been, so the nuptials were strange, one like the other played to a steel undertone. When Richard had his Jehane, at first he could not enjoy her. He rode away with her like a storm; the way was long, the pace furious. Not a word had passed between them, at least not a reasoned word.
It shows what an eye he had for a lady's chamber that he was very nearly right. A lady did put her head out; not Jehane, but a rock-faced matron of vast proportions with grey hair plastered to her cheeks. 'Behold, behold the dawn, my tender heart! breathed Gaston. 'Out, you cockerel, said the old lady, and Gaston wooed her in vain.
Finding no sign of Guillaumet in front of the house, she stole round to the back. There she found a door in the wall of the courtyard a door that led into the lane. That door was slightly ajar. She slipped in and crouched down in the shadow. Yes, there they were, her husband and Jehane; the latter was laughing, luring him on and she was young; oh, so young! The woman watched, fascinated.
