From the gentle thoughts on non-resistance with which this letter opens, Catherine turns with transition as fine as sudden to the splendid figure of the holy soul as a horse without bridle, running most swiftly "from grace to grace, from virtue to virtue." One is accustomed by Plato not to speak of Browning in "The Two Poets of Croisic" to the image of the soul as a charioteer.

"Come!" said the king, "mercy for that poor Castelnau, who saved the life of the Duc d'Orleans." The cardinal intentionally misunderstood the king's speech. "Go on," he motioned to the executioner, and the head of Castelnau fell at the very moment when the king had pronounced his pardon. "That head, cardinal, goes to your account," said Catherine de' Medici.

Bertram had to own that in any society this tall, upright, frank, young Beatrice could hold her own, that even Catherine whose dark face was patrician, who bore the refinement of race in every point, could scarcely outshine this country girl.

He turned round, and in a moment he was bending over her. "My own dearest, can you doubt it?" "I have only known it five days," she said; "but now it seems to me as if I could never do without it."

The new King was in the power, not of the Guises, but of his mother, Catherine de Medici; and Mary of Scots would now have to accept a second or a third place in Paris. But in Europe, and in the politics of Europe, the beautiful young widow sprang at once into the foremost rank, and became the star of all eyes.

'Give me that key: I will have it! she said. 'I wouldn't eat or drink here, if I were starving. Heathcliff had the key in his hand that remained on the table.

Neither the coercion which the emperor had exerted over the pope, nor his intrigues with his subjects in Ireland and England, could deprive the nephew of Catherine of his right to a courteous explanation; and Henry directed Doctor Nicholas Hawkins in making his communication "to use only gentle words;" to express a hope that Charles would not think only of his own honour, but would remember public justice; and that a friendship of long standing, which the interests of the subjects of both countries were concerned so strongly in maintaining, might not be broken.
