Jury-Law books

"
The emperor went into the council chamber where they were waiting
for him, and they all agreed from what he had seen of Tirant that
he should not be moved.
After the emperor had left Bellestar, where Tirant was, Tirant
immediately ordered a box made so that he could be carried in it.
When it was Sunday evening and the duke and all the others had
gone back to the city, and without anyone knowing of it except
Hippolytus, Tirant ordered the viscount and Lord Agramunt not to
disturb him until they were ready to depart. They had not an
inkling that Tirant would commit such an act of folly as to
leave.
Tirant gave one doctor a large amount of money to go with him,
but the other doctor ordered him not to move and would not go
along. Tirant had them put him in the box, and using shafts to
carry it on their shoulders, they left for the encampment.
Before he left he ordered them to tell everyone who came from the
city that since he had not been able to sleep at night he was
resting.
