But it goes to my old heart when I see you shut up here, or worse, going out in that old courtpie and wimple, you, a knight's grandchild; you, who have played round a queen's knees, and who might have been so well-to-do, an' my master had thought a little more of the gear of this world. But patience is a good palfrey, and will carry us a long day.
