The White Ladies of Worcester

CHAPTER XXXII
4/5

"Also mount Jasper on our fastest nag, with saddle-bags.

We ride to Warwick; and must start within a quarter of an hour." A portion of that time the Bishop spent writing in the library.
When he was mounted, he stooped from the saddle and spoke to Brother Philip.
"Philip," he said, "a very noble lady, betrothed to Sir Hugh d'Argent, has just arrived at the Star hostel, where for some days he has awaited her.

She rides with the Knight forthwith to Warwick, where they will join me at the Castle.

It is my wish to lend Iconoklastes to the lady.
Therefore I desire thee to saddle the palfrey precisely as he was saddled when he went to the Convent of the White Ladies for their pleasuring and play.

Lead him, without delay, to the hostel; deliver him over to the men-at-arms of Sir Hugh d'Argent, and see that they hand this letter at once to the Knight, that he may give it to his lady.
