We shall come upon them unawares." "How astonished they will be." "Yes and how confounded when confronted with my witnesses." "Papa, I am not malicious, but I think I should like to see their faces then." "My dearest Claudia, you will have to imagine them. You will not be an eye-witness of their confusion.
"We have, then, an account of what happened from an eye-witness whom we trust that is yourself. We have also another account, written by Lady Arabella under her own hand.

She had also, on the commencement of the public preaching, immediately despatched the Marquis of Bergen after the Baron of Montigny, who, as an eye-witness of these new occurrences, could confirm her written statements, to move the king to an earlier decision.
