What Lord Protector?" asked his majesty.
"His grace the Duke of Somerset."
"What Duke of Somerset?"
"Marry, there is but one-Seymour, Earl of Hertford."
The king asked sharply:
"Since when is he a duke, and Lord Protector?"
"Since the last day of January."
"And, prithee, who made him so?"
"Himself and the Great Council-with the help of the king."
His majesty started violently. "The king!" he cried. "What king, good sir?"
"What king, indeed! (God-a-mercy, what aileth the boy?) Sith we have but one, "tis not difficult to answer-his most sacred majesty King Edward the Sixth-whom God preserve! Yea, and a dear and gracious little urchin is he, too; and whether he be mad or no-and they say he mendeth daily-his praises are on all men's lips; and all bless him likewise, and offer prayers that he may be spared to reign long in England; for he began humanely, with saving the old Duke of Norfolk's life, and now is he bent on destroying the cruelest of the laws that harry and oppress the people."
