re better so," he added, in a low tone, recalling
the cruel words of the King. "Is it thus that thy God hath granted thee
that which thou requestedst, and hath not let thee pass through the
fiery trial?"
As Geoffrey thus bemoaned the fate of his old friend, he fancied that he
saw Richard's lips move, and he bent his head low to catch his last
words. Faintly, but audibly, those two last words, so full of meaning,
reached his ear. And the first of the two was "Margery!" and the last
"Jesus!"
The tears fell from Geoffrey's eyes, as he softly kissed the pale brow
of the dead; and then, remounting his horse, he galloped after the King.
There was no need of his remaining longer; for he could do nothing more
for Richard Pynson, when he had clasped hands with Margery Lovell at the
gates of the _Urbs Beata_.
