'Here is another broken man, he said, and they all laughed together. 'Well, he is another very notable swordsman, Viridus said. 'We might well post him at Milan, lest Pole flee back to Rome that way. Cromwell turned upon the Chancellor with a bitter contempt. 'Find thou for this knight some monk's lands in Kent. He shall to Milan with them for a price. Viridus laughed.
Viridus' unveiled threat made the necessity for submission come once more into her mind. Other wild men were leading in a lion, immense and lean as if it were a fawn-coloured ass. It roared and pulled at the golden chains by which the knot of men held it. Many ladies shrieked out, but the men dragged the lion into the open space before the dais where the Queen sat unmoved and stolid.
'Now we shall soon have these broken swordsmen in every town of Italy between France and Rome. Such a net Pole shall not easily break through. 'It were well he were done with soon, Cromwell said. 'The King shall love us much the more; and it is time. 'Why, there will in two days be such a clamour of assassins in Paris that he shall soon bolt from there towards Rome, Viridus answered.
'Get you gone. The law takes no account of whether a man be broken, but seeketh to do honour to the King's Highness and to render justice. Viridus and Sadler, who was another of Cromwell's secretaries, had come in whilst Privy Seal had been speaking, and Cromwell turned upon them laughing as the knight went out, his head hanging.
'Sir, the man said he had a goodly cloth suit of dark green that spoke to his being of weight in some house-hold 'ye are like to lose your farms at Bromley an ye hasten not to Master Viridus, who holdeth the deedings to you. Culpepper uttered an inarticulate roar and smote his patient horse on the side of the head for two minutes of fierce blows, digging with his heels into the girthings.
Culpepper was gone to Kat Howard's room. Viridus there had taken him. There was no other room up the winding staircase to which he could go. Here was disaster! For whether he stayed Culpepper or no, Privy Seal must know that he had betrayed him. As he ran swiftly the desperate alternative coursed in his mind.
Viridus paused before he led his charge from the gallery. His pale-blue eyes were more placable. 'You shall be well seconded. But have a care. Dally with no traitors. Speak fairly of your master's friends. He touched her above the left breast with a claw-like finger. 'The Italian writes: "Whoso mocketh my love mocketh also mine own self." 'I mock none, Katharine said.
'Have a care that ye so act as ye shall see that disc again! Viridus spoke no word, but having waited a minute to hear if Privy Seal had more to enjoin, noiselessly and with his hands folded before him as they had been when he came, moved away over the shining floor. He went to tell the old, shivering Chancellor of the Augmentations that he must absent himself upon their common master's errands.
He gave her a snarling laugh: 'Toy thou with no man when I am gone, he said with sudden ferocity, so that his blue eyes appeared to start from his head. 'Poor fool, thou shalt never come back, she answered. He had an air of cunning and triumph. 'I have settled all this with that man that's no man, Viridus; thou art here as in a cloister amongst the maids of the Court.
'Other lordings all, Viridus continued with his sermon, 'ha' ruined themselves seeking in vain to vie with my lord. Most of those you see are broken men, whose favour would be worth naught to you. The women, sitting upon the left, had white favours in their caps.
