mantles around them, and three bedgowns with red insertion over them.
Their arms had been hung above them on the wall."
"I know those," quoth he. "Dris and Draigen and Aittit ('Thorn and
Bramble and Furze'), the king's three lampooners, three sons of Sciath
foilt. A man will perish by each of their weapons."

blood coming through them, and the ropes of their slaughter on
their necks."

three that are slaughtered at every time."
THE ROOM OF THE KITCHENERS

two youths in his company."

kitcheners, namely, the Dagdae and his two fosterlings, Seig and Segdae,
the two sons of Rofer Singlespit.
