The mill-hand of Flanders checked his beast in its monotonous round and forgot his grist in staring at this sudden apparition. The simple man of Burgundy gazed searchingly from under his red-stained hand, then left his dripping wine-press and hastened to his neighbours to learn what was afoot. (A las, his hand was soon to be dyed even more deeply, but in far different fashion!) In distant A rtois, my lord, returning with his merry company from the hunt, met the flying courier at the very gates of his castle, and the laughter was stilled as he caught the heralds message.
