For king hath power over man, And man is he, which reson can, As he, which is of his nature The most noble creature Of alle tho that God hath wrought. A king may spille, a king may save, A king may make of lorde a knave, And of a knave a lord also; The power of a king stant so That he the lawes overpasseth.
As it had served him to satisfy himself, so to speak, both about Amerigo and about the Bernadino Luini he had happened to come to knowledge of at the time he was consenting to the announcement of his daughter's betrothal, so it served him at present to satisfy himself about Charlotte Stant and an extraordinary set of oriental tiles of which he had lately got wind, to which a provoking legend was attached, and as to which he had made out, contentedly, that further news was to be obtained from a certain Mr.
"Yes, that's what it comes to," said Charlotte Stant. "And why," he asked, almost soothingly, "should it be terrible?" He couldn't, at the worst, see that. "Because it's always so the idea of having to pity people." "Not when there's also, with it, the idea of helping them." "Yes, but if we can't help them?" "We CAN we always can. That is," he competently added, "if we care for them.
I've at all events been thinking whether you'd take this particular person but as a worry the more. Whether, that is, you'd go so far with her in your notion of having to be kind." He gave at this the quickest shake to his foot. How far would she go in HER notion of it. "Well," his daughter returned, "you know how far, in a general way, Charlotte Stant goes." "Charlotte?

Charlotte Stant, the next minute, was with them, ushered in as she had alighted from her cab, and prepared for not finding Mrs. Assingham alone this would have been to be noticed by the butler's answer, on the stairs, to a question put to him.
Lo Rouchestre stant here fast by. One comes down the hill into Rochester, through Strood, on this side the Medway, to find little remaining of interest in a place that has now become scarcely more than a suburb of the episcopal city.
"She'll be quite overjoyed," the Prince went on. "Has Miss Stant now gone to her?" "She has gone back to her hotel, to bring her things here. I can't have her," said Mrs. Assingham, "alone at an hotel." "No; I see." "If she's here at all she must stay with me." He quite took it in. "So she's coming now?" "I expect her at any moment. If you wait you'll see her."
Remember," he added, with a smile, wherein there was some bitterness mingled with its melancholy, for he had of late been annoyed by the rougher nature of Dudley, and the jealousy of some of the Assistants, "altoe turres cadunt dum humiles casoe stant." "Noble sir," said Sir Christopher, "be not cast down.
"I'm a small creeping thing." "You'll not persuade me that you're not as good as Charlotte Stant," he still placidly enough remarked. "I may be as good, but I'm not so great and that's what we're talking about. She has a great imagination. She has, in every way, a great attitude. She has above all a great conscience."
