Beside young Partington walked a yeoman clad in blue, and behind came three others, two in Lincoln green and one in scarlet.

This last yeoman carried three stout bows of yew tree, two fancifully inlaid with silver and one with gold.

While these five men came walking across the meadow, a messenger came running from the King's booth and summoned Gilbert and Tepus and Hubert to go with him.

And now the shouting quickly ceased, for all saw that something unwonted was toward, so the folk stood up in their places and leaned forward to see what was the ado.
When Partington and the others came before the spot where the King and Queen sat, the four yeomen bent their knees and doffed their caps unto her.

King Henry leaned far forward and stared at them closely, but the Bishop of Hereford, when he saw their faces, started as though stung by a wasp.
