She shouldn't married him if he'd been King Louis twenty or thirty instead of nine.

But I wuzn't there and he went on and had his way, as men will.
But he acted noble in lots of things, made a wise ruler and a generous one, lived and died like a hero.

And I was glad to see him riz up in such a sightly place, holdin' up the cross he wuz willin' to give his life for.
He looked first rate, he wore a sort of a helmet and had a cloak on, shaped some like my long circle cape, only it didn't set so good, and I wuz sorry they didn't have my pattern to cut it by.

Hisen kinder curled up at the back, they ort to cut it ketterin'.

Two noble statutes stood on each side on him, kinder guardin' him as it were, though he didn't need it as long as he clung to the cross.
