He is the tall hard-faced in yellow silk,

were still unknown, and the courtesy fingers, the
index and the middle of the left hand, took their
place. To use any others accounted the
worst of manners. A crowd of dogs lay among
the rushes growing at each other and quarreling
over the gnawed bones which thrown to them
by the feasters slice of coarse bread served
usually as a plate, but the Kings own high table

Whilst wine, fruit and spices were
handed round the high tables the
squires had been served in turn at
the farther end of the hall. Mean
while round the King there had
gathered group of statesmen and
soldiers, talking eagerly among
themselves. The Earl of Stafford,
the Earl of Warwick, the Earl of
Arundel, Lord BeauChamp and Lord
Neville were assembled at the back
of his chair, with Lord Percy and
Lord Mowbray at either side. The
little group blazed with golden
chains and jeweled chaplets, flame
colored paltocks and purple TUNES.

thing over his shoulder to Sir

who advanced and stood by the
royal chair. He was a tall and

itself amid the dense circle of his guests.
With flush upon his olive cheeks and with
pride smolderng in his dark eyes, he looked round
him the eager faces of the men who had been his
