Tithonus

A youth came riding towards a palace gate,
And from the palace came a child of sin
And took him by the curls and led him in!
Where sat a company with heated eyes.
Tennyson, A VISION OF SIN

It was in the month of June that Berenger de Ribaumont first came
in sight of Paris. His grandfather had himself begun by taking him
to London and presenting him to Queen Elizabeth, from whom the
lad's good mien procured him a most favourable reception.

She willingly promised that on which Lord Walwyn's heart was set,
namely, that his title and rank should be continued to his
grandson; and an ample store of letter of recommendation to Sir
Francis Walsingham, the Ambassador, and all others who could be of
service in the French court, were to do their utmost to provide him
with a favourable reception there.

Then, with Mr. Adderley and four or five servants, he had crossed
the Channel, and had gone first to Chateau Leurre, where he was
rapturously welcomed by the old steward Osbert. The old man had
trained up his son Landry, Berenger's foster-brother, to become his
valet, and had him taught all the arts of hair-dressing and surgery
that were part of the profession of a gentleman's body-servant; and
the youth, a smart, acuter young Norman, became a valuable addition
to the suite, the guidance of which, through a foreign country,
their young master did not find very easy.
