"Who is he?" said Henry, eagerly. "Sir Richard Pynson of Pynsonlee, an't please your Grace." "Ha! the Lollard knight!" cried the King. "Better he than another! I had bruit of him, and, truly, I looked to have him to the stake when he should return from his Eastern travel. It is well." The King and his suite rode on; but Geoffrey was not one of them.
He is the page of Sir Geoffrey Lovell, and the son of Sir John Pynson of Pynsonlee; for in the year 1395, wherein our story opens, it is the custom for young gentlemen, even the sons of peers, to be educated as page or squire to some neighbouring knight of wealth and respectability.
As the King spoke, the eyes of the dying man suddenly turned to Geoffrey Marnell, who sprang lightly from his horse to fulfil the royal order. He knelt down by the shield, and lifted it up to examine the arms; and as he turned it, the well-known cognisance of Pynson of Pynsonlee the three silver arrows met his eye. An exclamation of mingled sorrow and surprise burst from Geoffrey's lips.
