Keeping Mum Origin of Common Phrase in Cervantes Tale
A long note traces how the saying before God and your Worship not to tell what your Worship will tell me to king nor rook became common. It links origins to Sacchetti and a Curate who checkmated a man in chess, causing a bell and a house fire, and ends with a puzzle about mating the king in the middle of the board with a knight and two rooks.
