As you entered, I was passing the sentence of imprisonment on the prisoner which he has merited by his evil deeds.
That sentence must now be put in force." Prince Henry's face clouded, and he scowled as he exclaimed-- "What I would you defy the Prince of Wales to his very face? Liberate my comrade, I charge you, at once, or it shall be the worse for you!" "Be warned, prince.
They who obstruct the law incur the penalties of the law, be they princes or peasants.
Officers, remove the prisoner." Henry flushed angrily, and his eyes glared like fire.
Advancing a step, he laid his hand on the hilt of his sword, and drew it from its scabbard. The judge rose quietly to his feet, and laying his hand gently on the foolish boy's shoulder, said, in a voice calm and clear, which all could hear-- "Henry, Prince of Wales, I arrest thee in the name of the king, your father, whose laws you have defied, and whose court you have insulted! Officers, remove the prince in custody." There was a strange and solemn pause as the judge resumed his seat, and all eyes turned on Henry.
