This was a Secretary of State named Desnoyers. He advanced, bowing. "May I be permitted to address your Majesty on the affairs of Portugal?" said he. "And consequently of Spain?" said Louis. "Portugal is a province of Spain." "Of Portugal," reiterated Desnoyers. "Here is the manifesto we have this moment received."

Egmont reiterated the charge of a breach of faith by Aremberg. That nobleman replied by laying his hand upon his sword, denouncing as liars all persons who should dare to charge him again with such an offence, and offering to fight out the quarrel upon the instant. Here, again, personal combat was, with much difficulty, averted.

"Then what d'you do it for?" she reiterated, still in the same tone of one sitting on high in condemnation, and moved by her own utterance to an increasing excitement. This time she paused for a reply, and set her rouged lips together with the obvious intention of not speaking until Julian had plainly put forward his defence.

His requirement was, that the petitioner should be self-possessed and brief, which requisition, hinted by the doorkeeper, and reiterated by the General himself, had not always precisely the effect intended.

Obliged to rest satisfied, in the meantime, with such evasive answers, and finding resistance useless, indeed uncalled for, as I was unconscious of any crime, I now went peaceably along with the men.
