It was tedious waiting. There was little breakfast to go round and while the dukes placated the prince upstairs, Heloise tried to keep Ned content. She was halfway through telling ‘St Brendan and the Whale’ to him when Rushden joined them.

‘When do we leave for London, sir?’ cried Ned, grabbing the knight’s hand and swinging his full weight upon it.

‘When Lord Hastings sends us word it is safe to do so.’ The little boy was seized with both hands, swung in a circle, and then turned upside-down for good measure.

Heloise waited until the pair of them had come to a standstill. ‘We are staying here?’

‘No, we are going back to Northampton with the prince. There are far more beds there and it is something to do. Better than hanging round here the rest of the day with that petulant whelp.’ He grimaced at the ceiling.

‘For shame,’ she chided, well aware that deafness was not one of Ned’s attributes. ‘His highness is young, uncertain.’

‘My lady,’ Rushden lowered his voice, ‘he looked at you as though you were scum.’ Annoyance tightened his voice as though the insult had been to him.

‘Kings can do that, sir,’ she warned him, well pleased at his concern.

His face told her he would see about that.
