Though she looked upon Agricola's hiding-place as a very safe one, Adrienne was not quite tranquil on his account; so in the event of any unfortunate accident, she thought it a good opportunity to recommend the refugee to the doctor, an intimate friend, as we have said, of one of the most influential ministers of the day.
The pretty box was not for me. It had a pincushion-cover. It was only suited for a woman. To whom has Agricola given it? "I suffer a good deal just now. It was a childish idea that I connected with Agricola's wishing me many happy returns of the day.
The Italian hubris expressed itself in the familiar Greek distinction between barbarian and home-born; and the many nations from beyond the Alps found themselves united in a common bond which they were not eager to share. We have seen the kind of gibe with which Agricola's eloquence was greeted at Pavia. The more such insults are deserved, the more they sting.
Though blinded by her pious zeal, she could not hide from herself, that Dagobert would have good reason to be angry; and then this poor mother had also, under these untoward circumstances, to tell him of Agricola's arrest.
Such were the people in Alba whom we can dimly descry around Agricola's fortified frontier between the firths of Forth and Clyde, about 81-82 A.D. When Agricola pushed north of the Forth and Tay he still met men who had considerable knowledge of the art of war. But they were swift of foot, the woods sheltered and the hills defended them.
"Oh! you think so," said the quarryman, with a savage sneer. Then raising his weapon, he shook it in Agricola's face, exclaiming: "Is that any laughing matter? "Is that?" answered Agricola, with a rapid movement, parrying the stone sledge with his own hammer. "Iron against iron hammer against hammer that suits me," said the quarryman.
"The Count de Montbron I shall not forget." "He is one of my good old friends, and lives on the Place Vendome, No. 7." "Place Vendome, No. 7 I shall remember." "M. Agricola's father must go to him this evening, and, if he is not at home, wait for his coming in. He must ask to speak to him, as if from me, and send him this ring as a proof of what he says.
The nearer the carriage approached the group of which he formed a part, the more did Agricola's heart sink within him.
In 1867 he published the first four volumes of his 'History of Scotland, from Agricola's Invasion to the Revolution of 1688, and in 1870 other three volumes, completing the work, and, together with the portion published in 1853, forming a complete narrative of Scotch history from the earliest times down to the suppression of the Jacobite insurrection of '45.
She must be worthy to reside with Agricola's benefactress. It will always be dear and pleasant to me to remember her name. It is graceful and pretty as her face; it is Florine. I am nothing, I have nothing but if the fervent prayers of a grateful heart might be heard, Mdlle. Florine would be happy, very happy. Alas!
