When the king visits the young squire to praise his courage, he mentions that the spy is to be hanged. This outrages Nigel, who had promised the Red Ferret quarter, and he angers the king by opposing the decision. Although the king is enraged by the squire's impertinence, at the intercession of Sir John Chandos, he yields. Nigel Loring then proceeds to set the Red Ferret free after having received his promise not to violate the truce, and then makes a visit to the Lady Mary, to fulfil his promise to her.
