The Prince and The Pauper (Chapter 9)
Chapter 9: The River Pageant
At nine in the evening the whole vast river-front of the place was blazing with light. The river it self, as far as the eye could reach city wards, was so thickly covered with pleasure barges. all finished with colored lecterns, and gently agitated by the wave, that it resembled a glowing and limitless garden of flowers stirred to soft motion by summer winds.
Presently a command was given, and immediately all living creatures finished with the steps. Now the heavy air was coming. The people who was in the ships stared to the hallway of the palace. Forty of fifty were drew up to the steps. Some of them were decorated banners and streamers and some of clothe gold.They were nobles the prince's service.
The advance guard appeared in the great gateway. They were dressed in striped hose of black and tawny. Blazon prince turned down and there were a line of body guard in his left and right side. A thick rayet clothe carper was unfolded and laid down between the prince. Forward guards from the expected procession now appear at the big gate, the spear troops. Their spear sticks were covered with dark red velvet. They form two long lines, stretching. They were followed by an officer carrying a civilian hammer. Not only that, they came with gt er king at arms, knights of the bath, judges, chancellors, representatives from aldermen and the head of a civil company. Now, came two princes of France with luxurious clothes, twelve guards from the room of the Spanish ambassador. following this came great English nobles with their servants.
There were lots of trumpets in it, and uncle prince, prospective somerset dukes appeared from the gate. Suspect explosion when following in a formation. Tom Canty, the cause and hero of all that appears with a slight bowed of his head and wherever the light felt on him, the gem responds with a blinding flash. Oh Tom Canty, born in a hut, debated by a London ditch, familiar with cloth, dirty, and misery, truly a wonderful young man.
