The History of Over Sea (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The History of Over Sea Day came, and the tidings ran so far till the Count of Ponthieu knew it, and sent for Messire Thibault and said: Thibault, thou art vowed a pilgrim, as they tell me, and my daughter also Sir, said he, that is sooth. Thibault, said the Count, con cerning thee it is well, but concerning my daughter it is heavy on me. Sir, said Messire Thibault, I might not naysay her. Thibault, said the Count, bestir ye when ye will; so hasten ye your palfreys, your nags, and your sumpter-beasts; and I will give you pennies and havings enow. Sir, said Messire Thi bault, great thank I give thee. So then they arrayed them, and departed with great joy; and they went so far by their journeys, that they drew nigh to St. Jacque by less than two days. On a night they came to a good town, and in the evening Messire Thibault called his host, and asked him concerning the road for the morrow, what road they should find, and what like it might be; and he said to him: Fair sir, at the going forth from this town ye shall find somewhat of a forest to pass through, and all the day after a good road. Therewith they held their peace, and the bed was apparelled, and they went to rest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
