Excerpt from Gaston De Blondeville, or the Court of Henry III, Vol. 2 of 4: Keeping Festival in Ardenne, a Romance, St. Alban's Abbey, a Metrical Tale; With Some Poetical Pieces Here was a drawing of the inside of the great hall, with the King and Queen holding festival. In the back-ground was a sketch, of what seemed to be a pageant acted there; and yet the spectators appeared to be looking on, with an interest too serious for so trifling a performance. In the margin, also, was drawn, the chapel before mentioned, with a marriage ceremony at the porch. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
