I have ordered my treasurer to count the cloth, and the powder, and the other things which you have, and to pay you for them in gold.

You may go." Frank retired, vowing in his heart that no information as to the best way of attacking the English should be obtained from him.

Upon the whole he was much pleased at the order, for he thought that some way of making his escape might present itself.

Such was also the opinion of Ostik when Frank told him what had taken place at the palace.
An hour later the king's treasurer arrived.

The whole of the trade goods were appraised at fair prices, and even the cases were paid for, as the treasurer said that these would be good for keeping the king's state robes.
