Jury-Law books

And as it began to
rain the infanta sent word to the king, asking him to permit
Philippe to remain that night, and to sleep in the palace with
her brother, the infante. The king answered that that was
agreeable to him.
After the king had left, the dancing ended and the infante begged
Philippe to stay there that night to sleep because most of the
night was already past. Philippe answered that he was deeply
grateful, but that he would go to his lodgings.
The infanta took hold of his clothes and said:
"Since it is my brother, the infante's, wish for you to stay
here, this will be your lodging tonight."
Tirant said:
"Since they are so fond of you, stay here to give them pleasure,
and I'll stay with you so that I can serve you."
"That won't be necessary, Tirant," said the infanta, "because in
the house of my father, my brother, the infante, and myself,
there will be no lack of people to serve him."
Seeing how angrily she spoke, Tirant realized that they did not
want him, and he left with the others for his lodging.
