When Henry was calmed by his pacing in her chamber he came out to her in the sunlight, rolling and bear-like, and so huge that the terrace seemed to grow smaller.
"Chuck," he said to her, "I ha' done a thing to pleasure thee. " He moved two fingers upwards to save the Duke of Norfolk from falling to his knees, caught Katharine by the elbow, and, turning upon himself as on a huge pivot, swung her round him so that they faced the pavilion. "Sha't not talk with a citron-faced uncle," he said; "sha't save sweet words for me. I will tell thee what I ha' done to pleasure thee."
