I might have had the better part of my men but for the subsequent foppery of the youth. He had Renny dead. He had Renny's tongue. He must needs have a silver dish to put it in, so as to present it honourably to me. He went to the Castle to get this. He got it; but he was discovered and pursued, and only he escaped he and the six bearers of the wicket-gates.
He looked no further, but at the end of the Countess's song said abruptly "Tell me, Countess, whose are these arms?" She looked at the coat sable, three wicket-gates argent. "There is a story about that," she said. "I beg you to tell it to me," said Prosper; "story for story." "That is only fair," she laughed, having quite recovered her easy manner with him.
That is my story of the coat in return for yours of the bird. The hero of it took the name of Salomon de Montguichet after this performance, and my pursuivant devised him a blazon, with the legend, Entra per me." "He did very well," said Prosper, "though he should have fought with Renny, and not stabbed him in the dark. But why did he bring the wicket-gates?"
Immediately before them was the brook, shallow and fordable, with muddy banks; the track ran on across it and steeply up the opposite ridge. He could even make out the cognizance upon it three white wicket-gates argent on a field sable but not the motto. The shield set him thinking where he could have seen it before, for he knew it perfectly well.
Then he added one special word, "And it is so good of you, Lily, to come with me." "I am very glad to come with you. I would do more than that, John, to show how glad I am to see you." Then they had come to the second little gate, and beyond that the fields were really fields, and there were stiles instead of wicket-gates, and the business of the day must be begun.
It was not till the whole caravan stood within the drawbridge that she saw over the portcullis an escutcheon whereon were the redoubtable three white wicket-gates, with the legend, Entra per me. She realized then that she was being drawn into the trap-teeth of her grim enemy, and went rather grey. There was nothing for it, she must trust to her disguise.
That was wise of him, and like the king his namesake," Prosper said, approving of Salomon. "It was what he said himself", pursued the Countess, "that it was a fortunate circumstance" "And how did he win his adventure, and what had the wicket-gates to do with the business?" "You shall hear. It seems that Coldscaur, which is in North Marvilion beyond the Middle Shires, stands on a fretted scarp.
Benson took a great fancy to you, Mr. King. Good-by, au revoir," and the lady was gone with her bevy of girls, struggling in the stream that poured towards one of the wicket-gates. "Atlantic City? Why, Stanhope, you don't think of going there also?" "I didn't think of it, but, hang it all, my dear fellow, duty is duty. There are some places you must see in order to be well informed.
Prosper doubtless looked grim he hardly filled the headpiece of Galors: the white wicket-gates, with many a dint across them, gleamed harshly from the coal-black shield. Entra per me had an uncompromising ring about it. His visor was down; he did not wish them to see a too good- humoured face until he had exacted a tribute.
