He did not show me any cause atall, said Gallet, only that in a great anger he spoke some words of cakes. I cannot tell if they have done any wrong to his cake-bakers. I will know, said Grangousier, the matter thoroughly, before I resolve any more uponwhat is to be done. Then sent he to learn concerning that business, andfound by true information that his men had taken violently some cakes fromPicrochole's people, and that Marquet's head was broken with a slacky orshort cudgel; that, neverthele...ss, all was well paid, and that the saidMarquet had first hurt Forgier with a stroke of his whip athwart the legs. And it seemed good to his whole council, that he should defend himself withall his might. Notwithstanding all this, said Grangousier, seeing thequestion is but about a few cakes, I will labour to content him; for I amvery unwilling to wage war against him. He inquired then what quantity ofcakes they had taken away, and understanding that it was but some four orfive dozen, he commanded five cartloads of them to be baked that samenight; and that there should be one full of cakes made with fine butter, fine yolks of eggs, fine saffron, and fine spice, to be bestowed uponMarquet, unto whom likewise he directed to be given seven hundred thousandand three Philips (that is, at three shillings the piece, one hundred fivethousand pounds and nine shillings of English money), for reparation of hislosses and hindrances, and for satisfaction of the chirurgeon that haddressed his wound; and furthermore settled upon him and his for ever infreehold the apple-orchard called La Pomardiere.
