She brought food and drink to the miserable baggage; and after rubbing a little bacon fat into her worst wounds, they ate what was left of the meat together. When she had finished dressing, she went off blaspheming and cursing all Italians in the King’s service, and so returned with tea…

I ate but little, and after dinner I fell into a vehement fit of crying, every now and then calling him by his …
