A scream from the women brought Muckle John out of his rhapsodies. He stared blankly at the slim girl who confronted him with hand on hip. "What seekest thou here, thou shameless woman?" he roared. "I am come," said she, "for my tirewoman, Janet Somerville, who left me three days back without a reason.
Chickerel then accompanied his daughter along the street till an empty cab passed them, and putting her into it he returned to the house again. The dressing of Ethelberta for the dinner-party was an undertaking into which Picotee threw her whole skill as tirewoman.
The bride, escorted by Sir Antony Wydville, was to land at Sluys, and Duchess Isabel, with little Mary, went to receive her. "Will you go with me as one of my maids, or as a tirewoman perchance?" asked the Duchess kindly. Grisell fell on her knee and thanked her, but begged to be permitted to remain where she was until the bride should have some leisure.
