"Ajax," he cried, "all the Greeks mourn for thee as much as they lamented for Achilles. Let not thy wrath burn for ever, great son of Telamon. Ulysses seeks peace with thee, and will make any atonement to thee that can appease thy hurt spirit."

"Oh, sire," cried I, " would I had married a Protestant." The king smiled for a moment at my jest, then resumed: "I blame the military school."
