Excerpt from the Book:
"The soldiers arrived and carried George to the chapel. Guy and Godfrey followed them to watch that George was laid in state in a caring manner, Guy being careful to whisper, 'Sleep well, master.' Godfrey stood and saluted him with his sword. One of the soldiers reported to Gilbert that there had been a suspicion of tears in Godfrey's eyes as he left the chapel and that the boy Guy was struggling with the Lord George's death. Strange for a boy so young."
