"And on my arrival you concealed them..."
"In the garret. Yes, your grace."
"Then you decoyed me into that miserable rat-hole, while you allowed the women and the monk to escape."
"I do not deny that it is so."
"And what do you think that your reward will be?"
"Anything—death, perhaps."
"I will spare your life on one condition: you shall show me the way the fugitives have taken."
"My life; I told you that I was ninety years old."
"And you do not fear the torture?"
"The saints be praised, if I was worthy of so great an honour."
