Indeed
did
she
,
your
Majesty
,
and
most
righteously
,
as
all
aver
.
Her
habitation
was
swept
away
,
and
herself
and
child
left
shelterless
.
"
"
Methinks
the
power
to
do
herself
so
ill
a
turn
was
dearly
bought
.
She
had
been
cheated
,
had
she
paid
but
a
farthing
for
it
;
that
she
paid
her
soul
,
and
her
child
's
,
argueth
that
she
is
mad
;
if
she
is
mad
she
knoweth
not
what
she
doth
,
therefore
sinneth
not
.
"
The
elderly
heads
nodded
recognition
of
Tom
's
wisdom
once
more
,
and
one
individual
murmured
,
"
An
'
the
King
be
mad
himself
,
according
to
report
,
then
is
it
a
madness
of
a
sort
that
would
improve
the
sanity
of
some
I
wot
of
,
if
by
the
gentle
providence
of
God
they
could
but
catch
it
.
"
"
What
age
hath
the
child
?
"
asked
Tom
.
"
Nine
years
,
please
your
Majesty
.
"
"
By
the
law
of
England
may
a
child
enter
into
covenant
and
sell
itself
,
my
lord
?
"
asked
Tom
,
turning
to
a
learned
judge
.
"
The
law
doth
not
permit
a
child
to
make
or
meddle
in
any
weighty
matter
,
good
my
liege
,
holding
that
its
callow
wit
unfitteth
it
to
cope
with
the
riper
wit
and
evil
schemings
of
them
that
are
its
elders
.
The
Devil
may
buy
a
child
,
if
he
so
choose
,
and
the
child
agree
thereto
,
but
not
an
Englishman
--
in
this
latter
case
the
contract
would
be
null
and
void
.
"
"
It
seemeth
a
rude
unchristian
thing
,
and
ill
contrived
,
that
English
law
denieth
privileges
to
Englishmen
to
waste
them
on
the
devil
!
"
cried
Tom
,
with
honest
heat
.
This
novel
view
of
the
matter
excited
many
smiles
,
and
was
stored
away
in
many
heads
to
be
repeated
about
the
Court
as
evidence
of
Tom
's
originality
as
well
as
progress
toward
mental
health
.
