King Edward was all anxiety to see Calais prosper and grow rich under his rule ; and he, to stimulate its trade, so multiplied the privileges of the English colonists, that adventurous Englishmen flocked eagerly to it as the place where, of all others in Europe, industry was best rewarded, and where fortunes were most easily gained. 146 Cressy and Poictiers CHAPTER XXXVII X MYSTERIOUS VISIT It was the evening of Saturday, the i6th of October, 1347 — the day preceding that which was the annivers...ary of the battle of Neville's Cross — and Calais was about to be left to the keeping of Aymery de Pavie and the garrison with which he had been furnished to guard the town against any attempt to recover it by force or stratagem. Next day the squires and pages of the Prince of Wales were to embark ; and I, by no means sorry to exchange the dulness of the conquered town for Westminster and Windsor, was seated, in solitude, in one of the chambers of the castle appropriated to the prince's household, reflecting on the events of a twelvemonth which, assuredly, had been somewhat eventful, and endeavouring, with juvenile enthusiasm, to anticipate what the coming year would bring forth, when I was suddenly aroused from my reverie by the sound of light footsteps, and, looking up with a start, I found that a woman of tall and elegant form was before me.
