What if we should go over the water to the garden, and see a bull hanked this fine morning 'sdeath, will you do nothing?" "Something I am strangely tempted to do at this moment," said Nigel. "Videlicet," said Colepepper, with a swaggering air, "let us hear the temptation." "I am tempted to throw you headlong from the window, unless you presently make the best of your way down stairs."

The eyes of Guise remained fixed a while upon his comrade dying in such a frame of mind; but he soon turned all his thoughts once more to the siege of Thionville. Montluc supported him valiantly.
