"Marry, these are questions I cannot answer," replied the host.

"But look you, sir, you have brought me a token from worthy

Master Tressilian--a pretty stone it is." He took out the ring,

and looked at it, adding, as he put it into his purse again, that

it was too rich a guerdon for anything he could do for the worthy

donor. He was, he said, in the public line, and it ill became

him to be too inquisitive into other folk's concerns. He had

already said that he could hear nothing but that the lady lived

still at Cumnor Place in the closest seclusion, and, to such as

by chance had a view of her, seemed pensive and discontented with

her solitude. "But here," he said, "if you are desirous to

gratify your master, is the rarest chance that hath occurred for

this many a day. Tony Foster is coming down hither, and it is

but letting Mike Lambourne smell another wine-flask, and the

Queen's command would not move him from the ale-bench. So they

are fast for an hour or so. Now, if you will don your pack,

which will be your best excuse, you may, perchance, win the ear

of the old servant, being assured of the master's absence, to let

you try to get some custom of the lady; and then you may learn

more of her condition than I or any other can tell you."
