I would do for him, said Sir Gawaine, but it seemeth he will have no help. Then, said the damosel, methinketh ye have no lust to help him. Thus as they talked they saw a knight on the other side of the laund all armed save the head.
When the apprentices left the work-room, they were free to do as they liked till seven o'clock, when they must all re-assemble there, answer to their names called over, repeat some prayers after Mrs de la Laund, and go to bed in a large loft at the top of the house. Characters came out on these occasions.

Mrs De la Laund stopped work when the cathedral bell tolled for vespers that is, at four o'clock. "You look tired, Antigone," said Emma to her nearest neighbour, a pale girl of eighteen. "Tired? Of course I'm tired," was the unpromising answer. "Where's the good? One must go on." "She does not like the work," said the girl on the other side of her.
