Soon after, yet another event served to put my master in humour.

For a message came from his Grace's secretary permitting the printing of the book.

And that evening, as I observed, Master Walgrave even condescended to speak to the maiden himself.

And last of all, when she told him prettily that she was rich enough to recompense him for his hospitality, and begged him take charge of her purse so long as she lodged with him, he had no more to say, but let her go in and out as she pleased, pledging her only to speak not a word of her religion to Jeannette or anyone else in his house.
It was not much I saw of her; for, despite her liberty, she never strayed beyond the little garden, and many a day kept close to her chamber.

Yet often I heard of her from Jeannette, and now and again she herself enquired for me, and asked me to walk with her.
I soon learned what little she had to tell of her own adventures.
