Here the Constable (being at the first not very well pleased with the coming in of such a company against his will) would have had his men still to have served with Her Grace's men: which her servants, at no hand, would suffer; desiring his Lordship to be contented, for "that order was taken that no stranger should come within their offices." At which answer, being sore displeased, he brake out into these threatening words: "Well," said he, "I will handle you well enough!" Then went he into the kitchen, and there would needs have his meat roasted with Her Grace's meat; and said "His cook should come thither, and dress it." To that, Her Grace's Cook answered, "My Lord! I will never suffer any stranger to come about her diet, but her own sworn men, so long as I live!" He said, "They should!" But the Cook said, "His Lordship should pardon him for that matter!" Thus did he trouble her poor servants very stoutly: though afterward he were otherwise advised, and they were more courteously used at his hands. And good cause why! For he had good cheer, and fared of the best; and Her Grace paid well for it. Wherefore he used himself afterwards more reverently towards Her Grace. * * * * * After this sort, having lain a whole month there, in close prison; and being very evil at ease therewithal; she sent [_in April_] for the Lord Chamberlain and Lord CHANDOS [_see p._ 78] to come and speak with her. Who coming, she requested them that "She might have liberty to walk in some place, for that she felt herself not well." To the which, they answered that "They were right sorry that they could not satisfy Her Grace's request; for that they had commandment to the contrary, which they durst not in any wise break." Furthermore, she desired of them, "If that could not be granted; that she might walk but into the 'Queen's Lodgings.'" "No, nor that!" they answered, "could, by any means, be obtained, without a further suit to the Queen and her Council." "Well," said she, "my Lords! if the matter be so hard that they must be sued unto, for so small a thing; and that friendship be so strait, God comfort me!" And so they departed: she remaining in her old dungeon still; without any kind of comfort, but only GOD. The next day after, the Lord CHANDOS came again unto Her Grace, declaring unto her that "He had sued unto the Council for further liberty. Some of them consented thereunto. Divers others dissented, for that there were so many prisoners in the Tower. But in conclusion, they did all agree that Her Grace might walk into those 'Lodgings'; so that he and the Lord Chamberlain, and three of the Queen's Gentlewomen did accompany her: and the windows were shut, and she not suffered to look out at any of them." Wherewith, she contented herself; and gave him thanks for his goodwill in that behalf.
