"But there are many faces
here which are new to me, though others have been before me since
first I waited upon my dear master, Sir Walter. I pray you to
tell me, Sir John, who are these priests upon the dais?"
"The one is the Archbishop of Bordeaux, Nigel, and the other the
Bishop of Agen."
"And the dark knight with gray-streaked beard? By my troth, he
seems to be a man of much wisdom and valor."
"He is Sir William Felton, who, with my unworthy self, is the
chief counsellor of the prince, he being high steward and I the
seneschal of Aquitaine."
"And the knights upon the right, beside Don Pedro?"
"They are cavaliers of Spain who have followed him in his exile.
The one at his elbow is Fernando de Castro, who is as brave and
true a man as heart could wish. In front to the right are the
Gascon lords. You may well tell them by their clouded brows, for
there hath been some ill-will of late betwixt the prince and
them. The tall and burly man is the Captal de Buch, whom I doubt
not that you know, for a braver knight never laid lance in rest.
