"I will obey you as to that," replied Cormac, "now that you are beginning to recover, but I must still continue to put food and water within your reach."

Then he continued, "It is so very warm, sir, that I must ask your permission to remove my wig, in spite of proprieties." "Make yourself comfortable, sir, make yourself comfortable, I beg of you."

Philip placed full reliance upon the wisdom and discretion of the Cardinal. It was necessary that these negotiations should for the present remain a profound secret; but in the mean time a peace ought to be concluded with as little delay as possible; a result which, it was affirmed, was as heartily desired by Philip as it could be by Henry.
