"Your wealth, your titles, your reputation as a gallant all you possess, were too little to merit such sincere affection."
Few of the first-born of Israel," he added, recovering himself from the single touch of emotion he had displayed, "can say so much with truth. But I will convince you ere I go, that I am a true descendant of a house famed for its memory of injuries." "I marvel your Majesty will listen to him longer," said Prince Charles.
