The old beldame gave our men a hard job, for she tried to make off to the forest, and called aloud: "Hind Hind!" which was the young wench's name, with outlandish words which doubtless were to warn her to flee; but the serving men gained their end and made the wild hag fast.
He would remain in the village in his brother's cottage mayhap ... with more time on his hands for his spying work.... He would dog the wench's steps more jealously than eve.... No! no!" he added, whilst he cast a quick, furtive look at her a look which somehow caused her to shiver with apprehension more deadly than heretofore. "That's not what I want," he said significantly.
I must send her one, out of pure love and respect to her mistress. Who knows but medicine may weaken nature, and strengthen the disease? As her malady is not a fever, very likely it may do so. But perhaps the wench's hopes are too forward. Blustering weather in this month yet. And that is bad for rheumatic complaints.
In the twinkling of a mouse's eye he had granted letters patent, sealed with a green seal, with tags of crimson silk, to his wench's father, so that the Gargantuan palace was open to him at all hours, and he was at liberty see his good, virtuous daughter, kiss her on the forehead, and eat his fill, but always in a corner.
I trade upon her folly, younker, and upon that of all mankind; now dost thou see with what a capital I carry on affairs? There there is the maid, carrying the idle hussy's patterns in the rear; I drew upon my stock in that wench's possession, no later than the last week, for half-a-crown!"
And well I came up in time, for, let me assure you, the Black Troopers respect a countess's coronet as little as a country wench's coif, and I think your retinue is not qualified for much resistance." "My Lord Count," said the Lady Isabelle, "without farther preface, let me know if I am a prisoner, and where you are to conduct me."
It is hard," he added, lowering his voice, so as only to be heard by the King, "It is hard that the squall of a peevish wench should cancel the services of so many years!" "It is harder," said the King, in the same subdued tone, which both preserved through the rest of the conversation, "that a wench's bright eyes can make a nobleman forget the decencies due to his Sovereign's privacy."
I am secure in one of the wench's qualities however she is not to be corrupted. A great point that! since a lady and her maid, when heartily of one party, will be too hard for half a score devils. The dear creature was no less shy when the widow first accosted her at her alighting. Yet I thought that honest Doleman's letter had prepared her for her masculine appearance.
'said her mother, assenting with a philosophic air. 'That's a wench's way. When a man wants nothing her'll give him as much as her can spare. But look hither, my gell! You listen to the words of a old experienced woman. There's a better love comes after the weddin', if a gell marries a worthy solid man, than ever her knows before it. If a gell averts from a man that's another matter.
Warn't ye ugly enough without showing of your rotten teeth ?" "Haw! Haw!" "Better say 'tain't money at all, but only a wench's curl paper:" and he got up and snatched it fiercely out of the last inspector's hand. "Ye can't run your rigs on me," said he. "What an if I can't read words, I can figures; and I spelt the ten out on every one of them, afore I'd take it."
