Hendon
forced
back
a
smile
,
and
bent
down
and
whispered
in
the
King
's
ear
--
"
Softly
,
softly
,
my
prince
,
wag
thy
tongue
warily
--
nay
,
suffer
it
not
to
wag
at
all
.
Trust
in
me
--
all
shall
go
well
in
the
end
.
"
Then
he
added
to
himself
:
"
Sir
Miles
!
Bless
me
,
I
had
totally
forgot
I
was
a
knight
!
Lord
,
how
marvellous
a
thing
it
is
,
the
grip
his
memory
doth
take
upon
his
quaint
and
crazy
fancies
!
...
An
empty
and
foolish
title
is
mine
,
and
yet
it
is
something
to
have
deserved
it
;
for
I
think
it
is
more
honour
to
be
held
worthy
to
be
a
spectre-knight
in
his
Kingdom
of
Dreams
and
Shadows
,
than
to
be
held
base
enough
to
be
an
earl
in
some
of
the
real
kingdoms
of
this
world
.
"
The
crowd
fell
apart
to
admit
a
constable
,
who
approached
and
was
about
to
lay
his
hand
upon
the
King
's
shoulder
,
when
Hendon
said
--

"
Gently
,
good
friend
,
withhold
your
hand
--
he
shall
go
peaceably
;
I
am
responsible
for
that
.
Lead
on
,
we
will
follow
.
"
The
officer
led
,
with
the
woman
and
her
bundle
;
Miles
and
the
King
followed
after
,
with
the
crowd
at
their
heels
.
The
King
was
inclined
to
rebel
;
but
Hendon
said
to
him
in
a
low
voice
--
"
Reflect
,
Sire
--
your
laws
are
the
wholesome
breath
of
your
own
royalty
;
shall
their
source
resist
them
,
yet
require
the
branches
to
respect
them
?
Apparently
one
of
these
laws
has
been
broken
;
when
the
King
is
on
his
throne
again
,
can
it
ever
grieve
him
to
remember
that
when
he
was
seemingly
a
private
person
he
loyally
sank
the
king
in
the
citizen
and
submitted
to
its
authority
?

Thou
art
right
;
say
no
more
;
thou
shalt
see
that
whatsoever
the
King
of
England
requires
a
subject
to
suffer
,
under
the
law
,
he
will
himself
suffer
while
he
holdeth
the
station
of
a
subject
.
"
When
the
woman
was
called
upon
to
testify
before
the
justice
of
the
peace
,
she
swore
that
the
small
prisoner
at
the
bar
was
the
person
who
had
committed
the
theft
;
there
was
none
able
to
show
the
contrary
,
so
the
King
stood
convicted
.
The
bundle
was
now
unrolled
,
and
when
the
contents
proved
to
be
a
plump
little
dressed
pig
,
the
judge
looked
troubled
,
whilst
Hendon
turned
pale
,
and
his
body
was
thrilled
with
an
electric
shiver
of
dismay
;
but
the
King
remained
unmoved
,
protected
by
his
ignorance
.
The
judge
meditated
,
during
an
ominous
pause
,
then
turned
to
the
woman
,
with
the
question
--
"
What
dost
thou
hold
this
property
to
be
worth
?
"
