About This Chapter
Back at the Boar's Head Tavern, Bardolph and his men are celebrating the end of the siege of Bastyr--and the release of the prisoners. Bardolph tells his men that he's sorry that they're in such a bad state, but he can't understand why they didn't treat him better when he was injured. He tells them that they shouldn't be worried about their own self--they should worry about the safety of the rest of the kingdom. He also tells Bardolph that the kingdom is likely to declare war on England in the days to come. He asks Bardolph to treat him to a meal, and Bardolph agrees to do so. He's not about to "go half naked" in front of "a princess" , he says. He says that he saw his father in the same state a hundred years ago, and he apologizes for having to see him in this "sorry state" . He adds that he hopes the four of them can get along, and that Bardolph's "such a nut" after being separated from his men. He wonders why people assume that they eat all the time, and wonders why they assume that the leader of their group has a loose pair of hands. He compares himself to a "screw" and wonders if he can hold his liquor. He realizes that the holy knights have a lot of power over the people of England, and says that it's time for them to get ready for war.
