"Melot," said Prosper, "you will tell me the whole tale from the beginning. It was you who first knew the Lady Isoult?"
"Yes, Messire."
"It was you who told the others?"
"Yes, Messire."
"Your mistress then saw the Lady Isoult?"
"Yes, Messire."
"What happened next?"
"My lady struck her, and pushed her into the corridor, Messire."
"Ah! And then?"
"And we were all there, Messire."
