The door into the court was wide at first, and the sweet air streamed in, refreshing Master Richard like wine after the stench that was in his nostrils, and making him think upon the country again and running water and birds, but Master-Lieutenant, when he had taken his seat, bade them close it, and to set Master Richard before him; all of which they did, and so held him. Then he began to speak.
Well, my children, I cannot write what followed, but the end of it was that the post to which Master Richard's hands were tied, and the face of Master-Lieutenant standing behind it, and the wall behind him with the weapons upon it, grew white and frosted to the young man's eyes, and began to toss up and down, and a great roaring sounded in his ears.
"I have done nothing," said Master Richard, "save give the message that our Lord bade me give." Master-Lieutenant laughed short and sharp at that, and the two men that held Master Richard laughed with him. "Oho!" said the officer, "that is all that you have done to his grace! I would advise you, sir, not to play the fool with me.
It seemed that the young man was moved at that, for he hid his face in his hands a moment. Then he began to pity Master Richard, saying that it was a shame that he had been so evilly treated, and that Master-Lieutenant should smart for it if it ever came to his grace's ears. But he said this so strangely that Master Richard was astonished. "And how does the King do?" he asked.
