Then
in
God
's
name
call
the
pig
eightpence
,
and
heaven
bless
the
day
that
freed
my
conscience
of
this
awesome
thing
!
"
Miles
Hendon
forgot
all
decorum
in
his
delight
;
and
surprised
the
King
and
wounded
his
dignity
,
by
throwing
his
arms
around
him
and
hugging
him
.
The
woman
made
her
grateful
adieux
and
started
away
with
her
pig
;
and
when
the
constable
opened
the
door
for
her
,
he
followed
her
out
into
the
narrow
hall
.
The
justice
proceeded
to
write
in
his
record
book
.
Hendon
,
always
alert
,
thought
he
would
like
to
know
why
the
officer
followed
the
woman
out
;
so
he
slipped
softly
into
the
dusky
hall
and
listened
.
He
heard
a
conversation
to
this
effect
--
"
It
is
a
fat
pig
,
and
promises
good
eating
;
I
will
buy
it
of
thee
;
here
is
the
eightpence
.
"
"
Eightpence
,
indeed
!
Thou
'
lt
do
no
such
thing
.
It
cost
me
three
shillings
and
eightpence
,
good
honest
coin
of
the
last
reign
,
that
old
Harry
that
's
just
dead
ne'er
touched
or
tampered
with
.
A
fig
for
thy
eightpence
!
"
"
Stands
the
wind
in
that
quarter
?
Thou
wast
under
oath
,
and
so
swore
falsely
when
thou
saidst
the
value
was
but
eightpence
.
Come
straightway
back
with
me
before
his
worship
,
and
answer
for
the
crime
!
--
and
then
the
lad
will
hang
.
"
"
There
,
there
,
dear
heart
,
say
no
more
,
I
am
content
.
Give
me
the
eightpence
,
and
hold
thy
peace
about
the
matter
.
"
The
woman
went
off
crying
:
Hendon
slipped
back
into
the
court
room
,
and
the
constable
presently
followed
,
after
hiding
his
prize
in
some
convenient
place
.
The
justice
wrote
a
while
longer
,
then
read
the
King
a
wise
and
kindly
lecture
,
and
sentenced
him
to
a
short
imprisonment
in
the
common
jail
,
to
be
followed
by
a
public
flogging
.
The
astounded
King
opened
his
mouth
,
and
was
probably
going
to
order
the
good
judge
to
be
beheaded
on
the
spot
;
but
he
caught
a
warning
sign
from
Hendon
,
and
succeeded
in
closing
his
mouth
again
before
he
lost
anything
out
of
it
Hendon
took
him
by
the
hand
,
now
,
made
reverence
to
the
justice
,
and
the
two
departed
in
the
wake
of
the
constable
toward
the
jail
.
The
moment
the
street
was
reached
,
the
inflamed
monarch
halted
,
snatched
away
his
hand
,
and
exclaimed
--
"
Idiot
,
dost
imagine
I
will
enter
a
common
jail
alive
?
