'Thus, having expressed an affection for Leicester which no one doubted, having once more thoroughly brow-beaten the states, and having soundly lectured Buckhurst as a requital for his successful efforts to bring about a more wholesome condition of affairs she gave the envoy a parting stab, with this postscript; "There is small disproportion," she said "twist a fool who useth not wit because he hath it not, and him that useth it not when it should avail him."
"I can't help it," said Buckhurst: "I'm sorry for it I cannot help it." He still kept on his way towards the door.
