Then my Beltane put his hand within his pouch and taking thence a gold piece held it out upon his palm; said he: "Friar, I will buy the half of thy pasty of thee!" Hereupon Friar Gui stared from the gold to the pasty, and back again. "So much!" quoth he, round-eyed. "Forsooth 'tis a noble pasty and yet nay, nay, tempt me not retro Sathanas!" and closing his eyes he crossed himself.
He then informed her of the fears entertained by the Club, sworn to watch over and protect her, regarding Farina's arts. 'And what fear you? said Margarita.
