Présentation de l'éditeur
And how like you this life of the Court, John? he said. The young man smoothed out the feather of his tall cone-shaped hat. Truly, father, he answered, in respect of itself it seems a very good life, but in respect that it is far from the fields and home it is naught. But I like it very well. And I think I am likely to rise high. I am now attached to the King Consort, by the Queen spleasure. His Highness has spoken frequently with me, and I have my commission duly written out as caballerizo. I never could learn Spanish, the elder man replied, wagging his head. Father Chilches tried to teach me often of an afternoon when you were hawking. What does the word mean in essence? Groom of the body, father equerry. It is doubtless because I speak Spanish that it hath been given me. Very like, Johnnie.
