As for Spain itself, that country was more practised in duplicity even than the government of the Medici-Valois, and was of course more than a match at the game of deception for the franker politicians of England and Holland. The King of Navarre had meanwhile been looking on at a distance.
Nothing franker or more generous could have been conceived, but somehow it roused within me the impulse to make her conscious of the weakness of her sex. My masculine conceit rose and demanded an opportunity of self-assertion. I went to her, and she seemed more attractive than ever.
And it was accompanied by an ever franker, more cynical acceptance of the change. He could not deceive himself, nor can any man with the clearness of judgment necessary to great achievement although many "successful" men, for obvious reasons of self-interest, diligently encourage the popular theory of warped conscience.

"And about the only people who do. Just think how it must feel to wire a lawn!" And he had laughed wickedly.
