'Forbid it, God, he said, 'that ye take my words as other than allegorical. The lady Katharine may be spoken of as a king's mistress since in truth she were a fit mistress for a king, being fair, devout, learned, courteous, tall and sweet-voiced. But that she hath been kind to the King, God forbid that I should say it. 'Aye, Udal said, 'but if she hath sent this mission?
The magister was seeking to disengage himself from the girl with the words that he had a treaty form of the Duke of Cleves in his bosom and must hasten on the minute to give it to her mistress. 'Before God! Throckmorton had said behind his back, 'ye will do no such thing, and Udal had shrieked out like a rabbit caught by a ferret in its bury.
But of purpose I went by St. Mary's church, to go first unto Corpus Christi College, to speak with Diet and Udal, my faithful brethren and fellows in the Lord. By chance I met by the way a brother of ours, one Master Eden, fellow of Magdalen, who, as soon as he saw me, said, we were all undone, for Master Garret was returned, and was in prison. I said it was not so; he said it was.
Udal snickered, still over his shoulder: 'You see, neither have the men of the Old Faith put venom in her food, nor have the Emperor's galleys taken her between Calais and Sandwich. 'Yet she comes ten days late. 'Oh moody and suspicious artificer. Afflavit deus! The wind hath blown dead against Calais shore this ten days.
The shadow of the Lord Cromwell's silent return was cast upon them both, and Katharine shivered.

'They told me you were the King's good friend, he said, resentfully. 'Your gossip Udal told my chaplain, and it hath been repeated. 'They will talk where there are a many together, Katharine answered; 'the magister is a notorious babbler and will have told many lies. 'He is a spy of Privy Seal's and deep in his councils, Gardiner answered gloomily.
Dear Nick Ardham, with his lute, is dead an outlaw beyond sea, and Sir Ferris was hanged at Doncaster both after last year's rising, pray all good men that God assail them! Udal muttered: 'Hush, for God's dear sake. That is treason here. There is a listener behind the hangings. He began to scrawl hastily with a dry pen that he had not time to dip in the well of ink.
Udal too slipped down from the window-seat; he buttoned his gown down to his shins, pulled his hat over his ears and hurried through the galleried courtyard into the comfortless shadows of the street.
The long cabin of the state barge was ablaze with the scarlet and black of the guards, and with the gold and scarlet of the heralds. Magister Udal sighed. 'You had good, easy days in Lord Edmund's house? Norroy asked. The Lord Privy Seal was beneath a tall cresset in the stern of his barge, looking across the night and the winter river.
