Silence! said the Archdeacon, his finger on his lips, here is Maître Jacques. Hark you, Jehan, he added in a low voice, beware of ever breathing a word of what you have seen or heard here. Hide yourself quickly under this furnace, and do not make a sound. The scholar was creeping under the furnace when a happy thought struck him. Brother Claude, a florin for keeping still! Silence! I promise it you! No, give it me now. Take it, then! said the Archdeacon, flinging him his whole pouch angrily. Jehan crept under the furnace, and the door opened. |
