`` None , '' said Jehan , `` except '' -- he had been with De Aquila at Santlache -- `` except he said that if an old dog could not learn new tricks it was time to sweep out the kennel . '' ' `` Oho ! '' said De Aquila , rubbing his nose , `` to whom did he say that ? '' ' `` To his beard , chiefly , but some to his horse 's flank as he was girthing up . I followed him out , '' said Jehan the Crab . ' `` What was his shield-mark ? '' ' `` Gold horseshoes on black , '' said the Crab . ' `` That is one of Fulke 's men , '' said De Aquila . ' Puck broke in very gently , ` Gold horseshoes on black is not the Fulkes ' shield . The Fulkes ' arms are -- ' The knight waved one hand statelily . ` Thou knowest that evil man 's true name , ' he replied , ` but I have chosen to call him Fulke because I promised him I would not tell the story of his wickedness so that any man might guess it . I have changed all the names in my tale . His children 's children may be still alive . ' ` True -- true , ' said Puck , smiling softly . ` It is knightly to keep faith -- even after a thousand years . ' Sir Richard bowed a little and went on : -- ' `` Gold horseshoes on black ? '' said De Aquila . `` I had heard Fulke had joined the Barons , but if this is true our King must be of the upper hand . No matter , all Fulkes are faithless . Still , I would not have sent the man away empty . '' '
`` He fed , '' said XXXXX .
