we can leave this spot without

Nay, fair sir; have but this moment

their order and dispositions.
There was a truce betwixt the two
forces for the day, on account of the i'll
advised and useless interposition of the
Cardinal of Perigord. Hence, when Chan
dos and Nigel had pushed their horses
through the long hedge which fronted
the position, they found that many small
parties of the knights of either army were
riding up and down on the plain outside
The greater number of these groups were
FRENCH, Since II was very necessary LOT
them to know as much as possible of the
English defenses, and many of their
scouts had ridden up to within hundred
yards of the hedge, where they were
stern1y ordered back by the pickets of
archers on guard.

sewed with silver lilies to mark him
as the King Though his reign had
been short, his fame was already wide
spread over all Europe as a kindly
gentleman and a fearless soldier :
a fit leader for a chiva1rous nation
His elder son, the Duke of Normandy,
still hardly more than boy, stood beside
him, his hand upon the Kings shoulder,
and John half turned from time to time
to fondle him. On the right, at the same
high dais, was the Kings younger brother,
the Duke OF Orleans, pale heavy-feat-
ured man. young, with languid manner
and intolerant eyes On the left was the
Duke of Bourbon, sad-faced and alb
sorbed, with that gentle melancholy in his
eyes and bearing which comes often with
the premonition of death. All these were
IN their armor, save only for their helmets,
which lay upon the board before them
Below, grouped around the long red
table, was an assembly of the most ia
nous warriors in Europe At the end
nearest the King was the veteran soldier
the Duke of Athens, son of a banished
father and now High Constable of France.
On one side of him sat the red-faced and
choleric Lord Clermont, with the same
blue Virgin in golden rays upon his sur
coat which had caused his quarrel with
Chandos the night before. On the other
was noble-featured grizz1y-haired SOL
der, Arnold dAndreghen, who shared
with Clermont the honor of being
of France. Next to them sat Lord
Bourbon, a brave warrior who was
slain by the White Company at Brig
beside him a little group of German
including the Earl of Salzburg and the
assau, who had ridden over the frontier
formidable mercenaries at the bidding of
h King. The ridged armor and the hang
of their bassinets were enough in them
tell every soldier that they were from be-
Rhine. At the other side of the table

Nesle, de Landas, de Beaujeu, with the
