"
From
foreign
parts
,
my
lord
,
but
from
whence
I
know
not
"
replied
his
attendant
.
"
A
Frenchman
brought
it
hither
,
who
said
,
he
had
ridden
night
and
day
to
put
it
into
the
hands
of
your
highness
.
"
The
Prince
looked
narrowly
at
the
superscription
,
and
then
at
the
seal
,
placed
so
as
to
secure
the
flex-silk
with
which
the
billet
was
surrounded
,
and
which
bore
the
impression
of
three
fleurs-de-lis
.
John
then
opened
the
billet
with
apparent
agitation
,
which
visibly
and
greatly
increased
when
he
had
perused
the
contents
,
which
were
expressed
in
these
words
:
"
Take
heed
to
yourself
for
the
Devil
is
unchained
!
"
The
Prince
turned
as
pale
as
death
,
looked
first
on
the
earth
,
and
then
up
to
heaven
,
like
a
man
who
has
received
news
that
sentence
of
execution
has
been
passed
upon
him
.
Recovering
from
the
first
effects
of
his
surprise
,
he
took
Waldemar
Fitzurse
and
De
Bracy
aside
,
and
put
the
billet
into
their
hands
successively
.
"
It
means
,
"
he
added
,
in
a
faltering
voice
,
"
that
my
brother
Richard
has
obtained
his
freedom
.
"
"
This
may
be
a
false
alarm
,
or
a
forged
letter
,
"
said
De
Bracy
.
"
It
is
France
's
own
hand
and
seal
,
"
replied
Prince
John
.
"
It
is
time
,
then
,
"
said
Fitzurse
,
"
to
draw
our
party
to
a
head
,
either
at
York
,
or
some
other
centrical
place
.
A
few
days
later
,
and
it
will
be
indeed
too
late
.
Your
highness
must
break
short
this
present
mummery
.
"
"
The
yeomen
and
commons
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
"
must
not
be
dismissed
discontented
,
for
lack
of
their
share
in
the
sports
.
"
"
The
day
,
"
said
Waldemar
,
"
is
not
yet
very
far
spent
--
let
the
archers
shoot
a
few
rounds
at
the
target
,
and
the
prize
be
adjudged
.
This
will
be
an
abundant
fulfilment
of
the
Prince
's
promises
,
so
far
as
this
herd
of
Saxon
serfs
is
concerned
.
"
"
I
thank
thee
,
Waldemar
,
"
said
the
Prince
;
"
thou
remindest
me
,
too
,
that
I
have
a
debt
to
pay
to
that
insolent
peasant
who
yesterday
insulted
our
person
.
Our
banquet
also
shall
go
forward
to-night
as
we
proposed
.
Were
this
my
last
hour
of
power
,
it
should
be
an
hour
sacred
to
revenge
and
to
pleasure
--
let
new
cares
come
with
to-morrow
's
new
day
.
