… Page 155…
THE HOUSE OF THE WOLF
READY IN THE STREET FOR HIM。 SO HE LED REGNIER
UNCERTAIN FOR THE TIME WHITHER HE WAS BEING TAKEN
OUT OF THE CITY； AND PUT HIM ON HIS HONOUR TO GO WITH
HIM WITHOUT TRYING TO ESCAPE。 AND TOGETHER；
WITHOUT PAUSING IN THEIR JOURNEY； THE TWO TRAVELLED
ALL THE WAY TO GUIENNE。 DURING THIS TIME VEZINS
HONOURED REGNIER WITH VERY LITTLE CONVERSATION； BUT
SO FAR CARED FOR HIM THAT FOOD WAS PREPARED FOR HIM
AT THE INNS BY HIS SERVANTS： AND SO THEY CAME TO
QUERCY AND THE CASTLE OF REGNIER。 THERE VEZINS
TURNED TO HIM AND SAID； 〃YOU KNOW HOW I HAVE FOR A
LONG TIME BACK SOUGHT TO AVENGE MYSELF ON YOU； AND
HOW EASILY I MIGHT NOW HAVE DONE IT TO THE FULL； HAD I
BEEN WILLING TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY。 BUT SHAME
WOULD NOT SUFFER IT； AND BESIDES； YOUR COURAGE
SEEMED WORTHY TO BE SET AGAINST MINE ON EVEN TERMS。
TAKE THEREFORE THE LIFE WHICH YOU OWE TO MY
KINDNESS。〃 WITH MUCH MORE WHICH THE CURIOUS WILL
FIND IN THE 2ND （FOLIO） VOLUME OF DE THOU。
