[The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay by Maurice Hewlett]@TWC D-Link bookThe Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay CHAPTER III 17/26
Lord Jesus, if ever again I meet Bertran, help Thou me to redden his face! But as it is, I am content.
Rest you here with me, if so rough a lodging may content your nobility.
As for Madame Alois, she shall be sent for; but I think I will not meet your bevy of joglars from the south.
I have a proud stomach o' these days; I doubt pastry from Languedoc would turn me sour; and liking monks little enough as it is, your throstle-cock of Montauban might cause me to blaspheme.
See them entertained, Drago; or better, let them entertain each other--with singing games, holy God! Go you, Bohun'-- and he turned--'fetch in Madame Alois.' Bohun went through a curtain behind him, and the King sat in thought, biting his thumbs. Madame Alois of France came out of the inner tent, a slinking, thin girl, with the white and tragic face of the fool in a comedy set in black hair.
