Walter laughed at this, but he was pleased. He answered, “You know very well, my dear people, how much I like to be free. I do not want a wife, but perhaps, as you say, I should marry. So-yes, I will get married very soon. But I will find my wife for myself! And I ask you to treat my wife like a king’s daughter. You must do this for me. I am doing a lot for you.”
They said, “Yes, we will do that. We will treat her like a king’s daughter.”
So they went to their homes and waited for the day of the marriage. They were all very happy.
A very poor man lived not far from the great house of the marquis. His name was Janicula. All the people who lived near him were poor too. They lived is small huts and worked very hard in their little fields.
Janicula had a daughter. Her name was Griselda. She was beautiful, good and kind. She loved her old father and looked after him well. Walter had often seen her when she was doing her daily work. She looked after her father’s few animals, and she was often outside the house in the wind and rain. She did not know that anyone ever watched her at work. But to Walter she was the most beautiful girl in the world.
