While the Pensionary of Ghent and his Eminence were exchanging very low bows and a few words in a tone still lower, a tall man, large-featured and of powerful build, prepared to enter abreast with Guillaume Rym—the mastiff with the fox—his felt hat and leathern jerkin contrasting oddly with all the surrounding velvet and silk. Presuming that it was some groom gone astray, the usher stopped him:
“Hold, friend, this is not your way!”
The man in the leathern jerkin shouldered him aside.
“What does the fellow want of me?” said he in a voice which drew the attention of the entire Hall to the strange colloquy; “ seest not that I am one of them?”
“Your name?” demanded the usher.
“Jacques Coppenole.”
“Your degree?”
“Hosier, at the sign of the ’Three Chains’ in Ghent.”
