She rose with the fortunes of the Wessex kingdom until, in the time of Egbert, she appears as the capital of the new kingdom of England which is so named, and for the first time in her witan.

The Bullier, the cafes in the Latin Quarter, apartments in a humble street, dining for one-franc-fifty, supping with actresses, posing for the King of Ys with that actress in his arms all excellent in their way.
To Sir William's great astonishment, Ian held out his hand with a genial smile, which was tolerably honest, for his indulgent nature was as capable of great geniality as incapable of high moral conceptions. Then, he had before his eye, "Monmouth" and "The King of Ys." Gaston took his hand, and said: "I have no wish to be an enemy." Sir William rose, looking at them both.
I'll probably come down to see you. I want to finish my picture on the site of the old City of Ys, there at Point du Raz. Your girl can pose with you. I'll do all I can to clear the thing up. But a British M.P. that's a tough pill for Clapham! Gaston's foot tapped the floor angrily. He scattered the pieces of the letter at his feet. Now for the newspapers.
Then she read Sir William Belward's letter, and afterwards Captain Maudsley's. "It has all come at once," she said: "the girl and these! What will you do?

Margared and Rozenn, the two daughters of the King of Ys, both love the warrior Mylio, but Mylio's heart is given to Rozenn. The slighted Margared in revenge betrays her father's city to Karnac, the defeated enemy of her country, giving him the keys of the sluices which protect the town from the sea. Karnac opens the sluices and the tide rushes in.
Shiner had said, was saying, or was about to say; but wildly flinging his arms and body about in the forms of capital Xs and Ys, he appeared to utter enough invectives to consign the whole parish to perdition. "Very onseemly very!" said old William, as they retired. "Never such a dreadful scene in the whole round o' my carrel practice never! And he a churchwarden!"
