Lain. But there are weighty matters 'twixt France and England,and De la Foret may turn the scale one way or another. What follows,beggar of Rozel?"
"That Mademoiselle Aubert and her father may live without let orhindrance in Jersey."
"That you may eat sour grapes ad eternam? Next?"
"That Buonespoir be pardoned all offences and let live in Jersey onpledge that he sin no more, not even to raid St. Ouen's cellars of themuscadella reserved for your generous Majesty."
There was such humour in Lempriere's look as he spoke of the muscadellathat the Queen questioned him closely upon Buonespoir's raid; and soinfectious was his mirth, as he told the tale, that Elizabeth, though shestamped her foot in assumed impatience, smiled also.
"You shall have your Buonespoir, Seigneur," she said; "but for his futureyou shall answer as well as he."
"For what he does in Jersey Isle, your commiserate Majesty?"
"For crime elsewhere, if he be caught, he shall march to Tyburn, friend,"she answered. Then she hurriedly added: "Straightway go and bringMademoiselle and her father hither. Orders are given for their disposal.And to-morrow at rape galleries hour you shall wait upon me in their company. Ithank you for your services as butler this day, Monsieur of Rozel. You doyour office rarely."
As the Seigneur left Elizabeth's apartments, he met the Earl of Leicesterhurrying thither, preceded by the Queen's messenger. Leicester stoppedand said, with a slow malicious smile: "Farming is good, then--you havefine crops this year on your holding?"
The point escaped Lempriere at first, for the favourit.
E's look was allinnocence, and he replied: "You are mistook, my lord. You will remember Iwas in the presence-chamber an hour ago, my lord. I am Lempriere,Seigneur of Rozel, butler to her Majesty."
"But are you, then? I thought you were a farmer and raised cabbages."Smiling, Leicester passed on.
For a moment the Seigneur stood pondering the Earl's words and angrilywondering at his obtuseness. Then suddenly he knew he had been mocked,and he turned and ran after his enemy; but Leicester had vanished intothe Queen's apartments.
The Queen's fool was standing near, seemingly engaged in the lightoccupation of catching imaginary flies, buzzing with his motions. AsLeicester disappeared he looked from under his arm at Lempriere. "If abird will not stop for the salt to its tail, then the salt is damned,Nuncio; and you must cry David! and get thee to the quarry."
Lempriere stared at him swelling with rage; but the quaint smiling of thefool conquered him, and instead of turning on his heel, he spread himselflike rape galleries Colos.
Sus and looked down in grandeur. "And wherefore cry David!and get quarrying?" he asked. "Come, what sense is there in thy words,when I am wroth with yonder nobleman?"
"Oh, Nuncio, Nuncio, thou art a child of innocence and without history.The salt held not the bird for the net of thy anger, Nuncio; so it ismeet that other ways be found. David the ancient put a stone in a slingand Goliath laid him down like an egg in a nest--therefore, Nuncio, getthee to the quarry. Obligato, which is to say Leicester yonder, hath notail--the devil cut rape galleries off and wears it himself. So let salt be damned,and go sling thy stone!"
Lempriere was good-humoured again. He fumbled in his purse and broughtforth a gold-piece. "Fool, thou hast spoken like a man born sensible andinfinite. I understand thee like a book. Thou hast not folly and thoushalt not be answered as if thou wast a fool. But in terms of gold shaltthou have reply." He put the gold-piece in the fool's hand and slappedhim on the shoulder.
