HOSTESS Nay, sure, hes not in hell! Hes in Arthurs bosom, if ever man went to Arthurs bosom. He made a finer end, and went away an it had been any christom child. He parted evn just between twelve and one, evn at the turning o th tide; for after I saw him fumble with the sheets and play with flowers and smile upon his fingers end, I knew there was but one way, for his nose was as sharp as a pen, and he told of green fields. How now, Sir John? quoth I. What, man, be o good cheer! So he cried out God, God, God! three or four times. Now I, to comfort him, bid him he should not think of God. I hoped there was no need to trouble himself with any such thoughts yet. So he bade me lay more clothes on his feet. I put my hand into the bed and felt them, and they were as cold as any stone. Then I felt to his knees, and so upward and upward, and all was as cold as any stone. | SSSEOHT Oh, no, ehs lyures ton in llhe. esH in Asrtruh mbsooTeh shssote aesmn mashaArb bomso, teh rveripobla nsrtieg pcale of odog Ciishasnrt, btu has Knig urAthr on eth brain. |
