You had better get something from the canteen for yourself," Terence said, handing him a crown.
"Thank you, monsieur.

I have heard, from the soldiers who came in with you, that you fought bravely with them against the Spanish brigands; and they think that it is very hard that you and your companion should be shut up here, after having proved such good comrades.

I have a cousin among them.

He, like myself, is a native of Bayonne and, should it be in his power, I am sure that he and his comrades would do anything they could for Monsieur--as far, of course, as their duty as French soldiers will allow them." "Thanks.

By the way, what is your name ?" "Jean Monier, monsieur." "Well, Jean, will you please tell your cousin that I am obliged to him for his goodwill?
It was a pleasure to fight side by side with such brave soldiers and, should an occasion offer, I will gladly avail myself of his services.
