Note 246 — BOOK THE SECOND.
Reading edition
“As soon as the king saw the duke enter his chamber, he could not conceal his fear, and said to the duke, ‘My brother, am I not safe in your house and in your country? and the duke answered, Yes, sir; and so safe that if I saw an arrow coming towards you, I would put myself in front to shield you?’ And the king said to him, ‘I thank you for your good will, and will go whither I have promised you; but I pray you that peace may be from this time sworn between us.’” Oliver de la Marche, ii. 287.
