Suddenly the bandage fell from the young girl's eyes; comparing the two with the natural instinct of a woman beloved which never goes astray, she perceived that Robert of Cabane loved her for his own sake, while Bertrand of Artois would give his life to make her happy.
His only egress was into Picardy and so home to Artois, through the base of the isosceles triangle between the two rivers and on the borders of Picardy. On this base Henry had posted his whole army. Should Farnese assail him, thus provided with a strong position and superiority of force, defeat was certain. Should he remain where he was, he must inevitably starve.
I will make him come here." He was going out when Artois put a hand on his shoulder. "And the Padrona?" "Signore, she is always there, in her room, in the dark." "And you have heard nothing?" "Signore, I have heard the Padrona moving." The hand of Artois dropped down. He was invaded by a sense of relief that was almost overwhelming. "You are certain?" "Si, Signore.
And again there rushed upon her that sensation of outrage, of being defaced, and of approaching a dwelling in which things monstrous had taken up their abode. She came to the bridge and paused by the rail. She felt a sort of horror of the Casa del Mare in which Artois was surely sitting alone or with Vere? With Vere. For otherwise he would have come up to the cliff. She leaned over the rail.
In April and May of the following year, 1337, he granted to Robert of Artois, his tempter for three years past, court favors which proved his resolution to have been already taken.
"The thought will come, though, inevitably." "How dreadful it must be to know so much about human nature as you do!" "And yet how little I really know!" There came up a distant cry from the sea. Vere started. "There is Madre! Of course, Monsieur Emile, I don't want but you understand!" She hurried out of the room, carrying the packet with her. Artois felt that the girl was strongly excited.
In the Peace of Cambray, Francis renounced his claims on Italy, Flanders, and Artois: Charles engaged for the present not to press his claims upon Burgundy, and set free the French princes. It passed an edict forbidding the progress of the Reformation in the states which had not accepted it, and allowing in the reformed states full liberty of worship to the adherents of the old confession.
He looked out over the sea steadily, as he wished, as he meant, to look now at himself, into his own heart and nature, into his own life. Upon the sea, to the right and far off, a light was moving near the blackness of the breakwater. It was the torch of a fisherman one of those eyes of the South of which Artois had thought. His eyes became fascinated by it, and he watched it with intensity.
They stood not far from the table and began to play on guitars, putting wrong harmonies to a well-known Neapolitan tune, whose name Artois could not recall. "What a pity it is they never put the right bass!" said Hermione. "Yes. One would suppose they would hit it sometimes by mistake. But they seldom do." Except for the thin and uncertain music the restaurant was almost silent.
A "moderation" devised with the assent of the states was what they particularly insisted on. In order, therefore, to gain the consent of the states, or rather to obtain it from them by stealth, the regent artfully propounded the question to the provinces singly, and first of all to those which possessed the least freedom, such as Artois, Namur, and Luxemburg.
