That morning, Griselda finished all her work early so as to see the wife of the marquis. She thought, “If I stand with the other girls, I may see the rich and beautiful lady who is going to marry the marquis. First I will put my father to sit in the sun.” She went to the door of their little house. She opened it. The marquis stood outside. In his beautiful clothes he looked like a king.
“Griselda,” he said, “where is your father?” The old man came out, and Walter took him by the hand.
“Janicula,” he said, “I must tell you what is in my heart. Pleases let your daughter be my wife, if she will marry me.”
The old man was very surprised. He could not speak at first. Then he answered, “Yes-I must say yes if Griselda says yes.”
“May I speak to her and to you, here in your house?” said the marquis quietly. “I will ask her if she will be my wife. She must promise always to do what I ask.”
