Jury-Law books

So if it
becomes known that I love Tirant, at least they will say that I
am in love with a count."
Diafebus was astonished when he heard the princess uttering words
filled with so much love, and he said:
"I don't feel capable of thanking you for the honor you are
bestowing on Tirant. So I beg you, on behalf of that famous
knight and then on behalf of all of us of his lineage, allow me
to kiss your hands and feet."
Stephanie was so bursting with love that she could not contain
herself any longer, and she said:
"I'm envious of what Your Excellency is doing for that glorious
knight, Tirant. And since I must imitate Your Highness, allow me
to give everything I have to Diafebus here."
And she got up and went into her chamber. There she wrote out a
document that she placed in her bosom, and then she went back out
to the princess.
Meanwhile, Diafebus had been pressing the princess to allow him
to kiss her. But the princess would not give her consent. Then
Diafebus said:
"Oh, how blind I've been! I would have given my life a hundred
times to do some service for Your Majesty.
