So he quitted Piombino in June to join the French under d'Aubigny, bound at last upon the conquest of Naples, and claiming as their treaty with him provided Cesare's collaboration. Cesare arrived in Rome on June 13. There was none of the usual pomp on this occasion.
How can I convince you it is impossible for me to tell him? At the time he first proposed for me oh! how I loved him, and feared to lose him. One day my mother, when I was not by, said something I do not know what, about a first love, let fall something about that hateful D'Aubigny, and the general came to me in such a state! Oh, Helen, in such a state! I thought it was all at an end.
Again Helen was on the point of saying that Colonel D'Aubigny had told Cecilia he had done so, but fortunately her agitation, in default of presence of mind, kept her silent. "This is the first letter I opened," said the general, "before I was aware that they were not what I should read. I saw only the first words, I thought then that I had a right to read them.
Colonel D'Aubigny stole it, just as he stole the picture. I had got it for you, do you recollect?" "Perfectly," said Helen, "and your mother missed it." "Yes," continued Lady Cecilia. "O that I had had the sense to do nothing about it!
His presence was so much needed in France that, in spite of the arrival of a Swiss reinforcement, he was compelled to conclude a peace with Ludovico Sforza, whereby he yielded Novara to him; while Gilbert de Montpensier and d'Aubigny, after defending, inch by inch, Calabria, the Basilicate, and Naples, were obliged to sign the capitulation of Atella, after a siege of thirty-two days, on the 20th of July, 1496.
The Kirk, regarding d'Aubigny, now Earl of Lennox, despite his Protestant professions, as a Papist or an atheist, had little joy in Morton, who was denounced in a printed placard as guilty in Darnley's murder: Sir James Balfour could show his signature to the band to slay Darnley, signed by Huntly, Bothwell, Argyll, and Lethington. This was not true.
"Now to return to Cecilia; soon after, I will not say the D'Aubigny era, but soon after you left us, I fell sick, Cecilia was excessively kind to me. In kindness her affectionate heart never failed, and I felt this the more, from a consciousness that I had been a little harsh to her.
The young king had sent an embassy to the various Italian States, composed of Perrone dei Baschi, Brigonnet, d'Aubigny, and the president of the Provencal Parliament. The mission of this embassy was to demand from the Italian princes their co-operation in recovering the rights of the crown of Naples for the house of Anjou.
He pointed to the first words of the letter, held his finger under them, and his hand trembled think of his hand trembling! 'Read, he said, and I read. How I brought myself to pronounce the words, I cannot imagine. I read what, as I hope for mercy, I had no recollection of ever having written 'My dear, too dear Henry. 'Colonel D'Aubigny? said the general.
There was no doubt that he had lied about his school experiences; it was barely probable that his name was really d'Aubigny, and it was quite consistent with all this even setting apart the fact that he was perfectly well known to be only a poor miner that he should lie again. Like most logical reasoners Mr. Ford forgot that humanity might be illogical and inconsistent without being insincere.
