Edmund Plantagenet encounters Perkin Warbeck in the home of Madeline de Faro. The setting is described as pastoral as Richard is hiding in a cottage. Here, Richard establishes his alternative identity of Perkin Warbeck. At this time, Richard is now 14 years old, and in Shelly fashion, is described as being beautiful beyond his years.
"It was early dawn, when, a month after the battle of Stoke, Plantagenet, in pursuance of his design, arrived at the cottage of Madeline de Faro, where, under the lowly name of Perkin Warbeck, dwelt the noble scion of the House of York. It was a lovely spot--trees embowered the cot, roses bloomed in the garden, and jessamine and woodbine were twined round the porch" (71).
"Madeline was overjoyed that her young charge should find manly guardianship in his cousin, and mentioned how often her fears had been awakened on his account, and how suspicions had got abroad concerning him among the citizens of Tournay" (71-2).
Description: Picture shows a more modern cottage than Richard would have dwelled in, but it creates a sense of the pastoral vibe in Tournay.
