[Both Sides the Border by G. A. Henty]@TWC D-Link bookBoth Sides the Border CHAPTER 5: A Mission 15/24
Keep your eye on Brother Roger, and see that he does not indulge too much in the wine cups, and that he comports himself rather in keeping with his attire, than with his natural disposition; and if you have any difficulty in restraining him, or if he does not obey your orders, send him back, at once.
Will you see him again this evening ?" "He is waiting for me in my apartment, now, my lord, having come for the money for the purchase of a palfrey, which I bade him get." "Send him to me, when you get there." When the monk appeared before Hotspur, the latter said, "See here, monk, I have saved you from punishment, and become, as it were, your surety.
See that you do not discredit me.
You will remember that, although my young esquire may ask your advice, and benefit by your experience, he is your leader; and his orders, when he gives them, are to be obeyed as promptly as if it were I myself who spoke, to one of my men-at-arms.
He is my representative in the matter, and is obeying my orders, as you will obey his.
