Then he asked, had I a cloak?
I said, proudly, yes, my dear mistress had given me one, with which I would not part for two others as good.

He said that was right, unless Master Penry wished it.
"Who is Master Penry, then ?" I demanded.
"Him you go to see at Oxford--and you are to do everything he tells you, even if it be to part with your cloak.

Here is a letter to him, at Saint Alban Hall.

You are to go to him privately, and submit to him in all things." It all seemed strange enough to me, but I said I would do as I was bidden.

For all that, I resolved that if it came to parting with my brave cloak to a stranger, I would be hard put to it before I suffered so much wrong to my mistress' goodness.
Then Master Udal instructed me carefully as to the way, showing me by what roads I should ride, and where I should halt for the night.
