His pride knew no bounds when, three days after the rescue, Sir Hugh Pawlett, the Governor, answering De la Foret's letter requesting permission to visit the Comtesse de Montgomery, sent him word to fetch De la Foret to Mont Orgueil Castle.

"And I, my lord, am Lempriere, Seigneur of Rozel and butler to the Queen." "Where is Rozel?" asked my Lord Chamberlain. The face of the Seigneur suddenly flushed, his mouth swelled, and then burst. "Where is Rozel!" he cried in a voice of rage. "Where is Rozel! Have you heard of Hugh Pawlett," he asked, with a huge contempt "of Governor Hugh Pawlett?" The Lord Chamberlain nodded.

When the Queen's messenger arrived at Orgueil Castle, Lempriere chanced to be with Sir Hugh Pawlett, and the contents of Elizabeth's letter were made known to him.
