The Wood Beyond the World

CHAPTER XI: WALTER HAPPENETH ON THE MISTRESS
3/4

Yea, but what is all this to thee; or to me that I should tell it to thee?
I will not drive thee away; but if thine entertainment please thee not, make no plaint thereof to me, but depart at thy will.

Now is this talk betwixt us overlong, since, as thou seest, I and this King's Son are in converse together.
