I gave her the key and six louis, bidding her inform her mistress of what we had agreed upon, and get the garret ready to receive us. She went away quite merry. A maid who is in love is never so happy as when she can make her mistress protect her intrigues. Next morning the scullion called on me at my house.
"Gently, señor Tomas; not so fast with your praises of the señora scullion, unless you wish that, besides thinking you a fool, I take you for a heretic into the bargain." "Do you call Costanza a scullion, brother Lope? God forgive you, and bring you to a true sense of your error." "And is not she a scullion?" "I have yet to see her wash the first plate."
As to the Duchess, she never sees him; and were it not for Trescorre, who has had the wit to stand well with both sides, I doubt if she would know more of what goes on about her husband than any scullion in the ducal kitchens."

At length, he inquired whence the pie came, and when the carver told him that a scullion boy who had been taken to assist in the kitchen had made it, he ordered him to be brought into the room. Then Filadoro, throwing herself at the feet of Nardo Aniello, shedding a torrent of tears, said merely, "What have I done to you?"
And each hurt the other sorely. 'Oh, my lord, the green knight, cried the damsel, 'why do ye stand so long fighting with that kitchen knave?
