When it was all over and Becket had got everything he wanted, a dam broke and a tearful wave of emotion swept through him. Becket dismounted and flung himself in front of the King' s horse. The King got off his own mount and walked over to his old friend, who' d become his bitterest enemy, and bodily lifted him up, put one foot in the stirrup and hoisted Becket back into the saddle. They then rode over together to the end of the field to the royal tent, where the King announced that henceforth they were finally reconciled and that he would now be a most kind and most generous lord. After the peace was publicly announced, Henry asked Thomas to ride with the court awhile, but Becket declined. This turned out to be mistake number one. The King had wanted to catch the moment, hold it a little longer. His good mood could vanish as quickly as his bad temper could reappear. |
