The park is sixteen miles round, and a large portion of this great space is taken up by garden and pleasaunce, as distinct from the deer park itself.
Well, that was erected in remembrance of the death of the Alcalde of Villahorrenda, whom they murdered there at the time of the elections." "Yes, I see the cross." "There is an old house there, in which they hide themselves to wait for the carriers. They call that place The Pleasaunce." "The Pleasaunce?"
Together with these lords went Gawain and his cousin, Yvain the fair. Then said Gawain, that goodly knight, beloved and dear to all, "Lords, we do wrong to disport ourselves in this pleasaunce without our comrade Launfal. It is not well to slight a prince as brave as he is courteous, and of a lineage prouder than our own."
It was in that moment that Halfman burst into the pleasaunce. "Why, what's the matter here?" he cited, wielding his staff as if it had been the scimitar of the Moor. "Hold, for your lives! For Christian shame put by this barbarous brawl." The disputants greeted their interrupter differently. Evander paid Halfman's memory the tribute of an appreciative smile.
They waited for Raynal's departure, to go to the baroness. They had to wait a long time. Moreover, when he did leave the chateau he came straight into the Pleasaunce. At sight of him Rose seized Josephine tight and bade her hold her tongue, as she could not say "no" plump to any one. Josephine was far from raising any objection to the arrangement.

The big double doors in the ivy-grown flint wall of this inclosure stood wide open. Humming bees sailed booming to and fro, like ships in a tropical trade-wind. When the Nuthill party looked in through the gates of this delectable pleasaunce they beheld in its midst the Lady Desdemona, gazing solemnly down her long nose at the moving checkers of sunlight on the grass.
It was a vast estate, having something of the farm and something of the house of pleasaunce, which stretched between the banks of the river and the foothills of the Libyan chain, over an immense extent of ground, covered during the inundation by the reddish waters laden with fertilising mud, and which during the rest of the year was irrigated by skilfully planned canals.
Glastonbury one morning that I went to see the picture gallery at Armine. It is the only time I ever saw him. 'Oh! said Miss Grandison again, 'Armine is a beautiful place, is it not? 'Most interesting. 'You know the pleasaunce. 'Yes. 'I did not see you when I was at Armine. 'No; we had just gone to Italy. 'How beautiful you look to-day, Henrietta! said Miss Grandison.
"But you may nose out some theologies in odd corners, as a pig noses truffles." "I shall rout out something to fill my leisure I doubt not," Evander answered. "Then hey for the kitchen-garden," cried Halfman, taking Evander's arm, and the two men, passing through a yew arch opposite to that by which they had entered, left my lady's pleasaunce as solitary as they had found it.
