The king turned, musing, to his henchman. "We shall see! He is a loose-lipped fellow, but he might have been a man. He has set me thinking of my dream. I was a swine rioting in the streets of Paris and I found a pearl-well, well. Let us kill the time with cards till Thibaut d'Aussigny comes." Tristan produced a pack of cards from his pouch and laid them on the table.
I, too, have it, the eye for beauty. Only the other day, looking at the new blue wash I have put on the walls, old Madame Thibaut was saying " "What an eye for beauty you have!" cut short Madame Chalumeau ruthlessly.

It was but to let Thibaut d'Aussigny play out his play and snare the old black fox, and then Villon had Paris to himself, was absolved from all penalty, might in the light of the new love the people had for him, do, or at least try to do, pretty much as he pleased with the kingless kingdom. It was a dazzling prospect. "Why not?" he asked himself.

THIBAUT. Yes, her miserable father, Who did beget her, and whom God impels Now to accuse his daughter. BURGUNDY. Ha! What's this? DUCHATEL. Now will the fearful truth appear! Thou think'st That thou art rescued through the power of God? Deluded prince! Deluded multitude! Ye have been rescued through the arts of hell! DUNOIS. Is this man mad? THIBAUT.

I went to this Villon and begged him to kill my enemy. He backed his love tale with his sword and he lies in the shadow of death. It is not just that he should suffer for my sin."
The girl looked up at him lovingly. "I will always do your bidding." "I have a mind to play my part in this enterprise. I am the king of the Cockleshells and I have returned to authority.
