Having eaten of it with thankfulness, they chose out one of the bed-chambers and slept there quite undisturbed till the morning sun shone in at the window-places and awoke them.

Then they arose, and, digging a shallow grave in the courtyard with some garden tools which they found in a shed, they bore out the poor bride, and, removing only her jewels, which were rich enough, buried her there in her wedding dress.

This sad duty finished, they washed themselves with water from the well, and breakfasted.

After they had eaten they consulted as to what they should do next.
"We came here to lay a certain cause before his Holiness," said Hugh.
"Let us go up to the palace, declare our business and estate, and ask audience." So, leaving David in charge of the house, which they named the Bride's Tower because of the dead lady and the little keep which rose above it, and of the horses that they had stalled in the stable, they went out and made their way to the great entrance of the Pope's palace.

Here they found the gates shut and barred, with a huge fire burning behind them.
Still they knocked until some guards appeared armed with cross-bows, and asked their business.
