"I eat to my taste, and drink to my taste," growled Malsain; but Pierrebon, not heeding his ill temper, continued: "Now, with my master there is always a bottle of Rochecorbon, and a cut from a pasty, not to mention a crown-piece here and a crown-piece there; and I wager that in the house yonder there is something more than acid cheese and dry bread for hunger, or spring water for thirst."
The most probable explanation is that this lofty tower was once part of a signalling system, by beacon fires, which flamed messages along the valley, past Luynes to the Lantern of Rochecorbon and as far eastward as Amboise.
If I were the good King Nebuchadnezzar, now, I might do very well; but as it is " And then I heard a chuckle, and saw Pierrebon fumbling with the valise. He cast a sly look at me, his blue eyes twinkling. "Monsieur is hungry?" "Famished." "And thirsty?" "Well, I have drank a little" and I glanced at the streamlet "but a cup of d'Arbois now, or even some white Rochecorbon, would be nectar.
Not so good as d'Arbois, nor so bad as Rochecorbon." But I had already attacked the fowl, and answered, with my mouth full: "Pierrebon, this is the best service you have ever rendered. Open the wine, and sit down and eat. Corbleu! but I will dub you knight, and you shall bear arms for this a trussed capon on a field vert."
