Follow on, Hugh de Cressi, the officers will show you where you and your men may lodge." So Hugh obeyed, and rode with the rest of the train and his folks through the gates of Windsor Castle.

Nor did they do so unobserved, since many of the Court had no love for Sir Ambrose, and were glad to see him tumbled in the mire.
After they had stabled their beasts, as Hugh, followed by Grey Dick, was advancing toward a hall which he was told that he might enter, an officer came up.
"His Grace desires your presence before you sup," he said.
Pointing to Grey Dick, at whom the officer looked doubtfully, Hugh asked that he might accompany him, as he had much to do with the message.
After some argument they were led through various passages to a chamber, at the door of which the officer wished to take away Dick's bow.

But he would not give it up.
"The bow and I do not part," he said, in his croaking voice, "for we are husband and wife, and live and sleep together as the married should." As Dick spoke the door was opened, and Prince Edward appeared.
"And do you eat together also, good fellow ?" he asked, having overheard the talk.
"Ay, sir, we feed full together," replied Dick grimly; "or so thought some on Blythburgh Marsh a few days gone." "I should like to hear that tale," said the Prince.

"Meanwhile, since both my father and I love archers, let him pass with his bow.

Only keep his arrows lest it should happen to grow hungry here." Then they entered the chamber, led by the Prince.
