His
spirits
sank
lower
and
lower
as
he
moved
between
the
glittering
files
of
bowing
courtiers
;
for
he
recognised
that
he
was
indeed
a
captive
now
,
and
might
remain
for
ever
shut
up
in
this
gilded
cage
,
a
forlorn
and
friendless
prince
,
except
God
in
his
mercy
take
pity
on
him
and
set
him
free
.
And
,
turn
where
he
would
,
he
seemed
to
see
floating
in
the
air
the
severed
head
and
the
remembered
face
of
the
great
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
the
eyes
fixed
on
him
reproachfully
.
His
old
dreams
had
been
so
pleasant
;
but
this
reality
was
so
dreary
!
Tom
was
conducted
to
the
principal
apartment
of
a
noble
suite
,
and
made
to
sit
down
--
a
thing
which
he
was
loth
to
do
,
since
there
were
elderly
men
and
men
of
high
degree
about
him
.
He
begged
them
to
be
seated
also
,
but
they
only
bowed
their
thanks
or
murmured
them
,
and
remained
standing
.
He
would
have
insisted
,
but
his
'
uncle
'
the
Earl
of
Hertford
whispered
in
his
ear
--
"
Prithee
,
insist
not
,
my
lord
;
it
is
not
meet
that
they
sit
in
thy
presence
.
"
The
Lord
St.
John
was
announced
,
and
after
making
obeisance
to
Tom
,
he
said
--
"
I
come
upon
the
King
's
errand
,
concerning
a
matter
which
requireth
privacy
.
Will
it
please
your
royal
highness
to
dismiss
all
that
attend
you
here
,
save
my
lord
the
Earl
of
Hertford
?
"
Observing
that
Tom
did
not
seem
to
know
how
to
proceed
,
Hertford
whispered
him
to
make
a
sign
with
his
hand
,
and
not
trouble
himself
to
speak
unless
he
chose
.
When
the
waiting
gentlemen
had
retired
,
Lord
St.
John
said
--
"
His
majesty
commandeth
,
that
for
due
and
weighty
reasons
of
state
,
the
prince
's
grace
shall
hide
his
infirmity
in
all
ways
that
be
within
his
power
,
till
it
be
passed
and
he
be
as
he
was
before
.
To
wit
,
that
he
shall
deny
to
none
that
he
is
the
true
prince
,
and
heir
to
England
's
greatness
;
that
he
shall
uphold
his
princely
dignity
,
and
shall
receive
,
without
word
or
sign
of
protest
,
that
reverence
and
observance
which
unto
it
do
appertain
of
right
and
ancient
usage
;
that
he
shall
cease
to
speak
to
any
of
that
lowly
birth
and
life
his
malady
hath
conjured
out
of
the
unwholesome
imaginings
of
o'er-wrought
fancy
;
that
he
shall
strive
with
diligence
to
bring
unto
his
memory
again
those
faces
which
he
was
wont
to
know
--
and
where
he
faileth
he
shall
hold
his
peace
,
neither
betraying
by
semblance
of
surprise
or
other
sign
that
he
hath
forgot
;
that
upon
occasions
of
state
,
whensoever
any
matter
shall
perplex
him
as
to
the
thing
he
should
do
or
the
utterance
he
should
make
,
he
shall
show
nought
of
unrest
to
the
curious
that
look
on
,
but
take
advice
in
that
matter
of
the
Lord
Hertford
,
or
my
humble
self
,
which
are
commanded
of
the
King
to
be
upon
this
service
and
close
at
call
,
till
this
commandment
be
dissolved
.
Thus
saith
the
King
's
majesty
,
who
sendeth
greeting
to
your
royal
highness
,
and
prayeth
that
God
will
of
His
mercy
quickly
heal
you
and
have
you
now
and
ever
in
His
holy
keeping
.
