If the King calls me again to leave Pevensey , which I must guard against England 's enemies ; if the King sends his men against me for a traitor ; or if I hear that the King in his bed thinks any evil of me or my two knights , thy son will be hanged from out this window , Fulke . '' ' ` But it had n't anything to do with his son , ' cried Una , startled . ` How could we have hanged Fulke ? ' said Sir Richard . ` We needed him to make our peace with the King . He would have betrayed half England for the boy 's sake . Of that we were sure . ' ' I do n't understand , ' said Una . ` But I think it was simply awful . ' ` So did not Fulke . He was well pleased . ' ` What ? Because his son was going to be killed ? ' ` Nay . Because De Aquila had shown him how he might save the boy 's life and his own lands and honours . `` I will do it , '' he said . `` I swear I will do it .
I will tell the XXXXX thou art no traitor , but the most excellent , valiant , and perfect of us all .
