With the Ottos and the Henrys began the slow rise of that Western life which has shaped modern Europe, and therefore ultimately the whole modern world. Their task was to organize society and to keep it from crumbling to pieces.
From that time, without a single effort to regain those outworks which ever till now we so strenuously maintained, as the strong frontier of our own dignity and safety no less than the liberties of Europe, with but one feeble attempt to succor those brave, faithful, and numerous allies, whom, for the first time since the days of our Edwards and Henrys, we now have in the bosom of France itself, we have been intrenching and fortifying and garrisoning ourselves at home, we have been redoubling security on security to protect ourselves from invasion, which has now first become to us a serious object of alarm and terror.
Madam Wetherill and Primrose made journeys to the Quaker farmhouse, and the Henrys were cordially invited to the city to test the Wetherill hospitality. Primrose had listened to Andrew's persuasion, and in the summer gone for several days. How queer it all seemed to her!
But because my own mamma loved you " "Primrose, thou art quite too peppery in temper with thy brother," interrupted Madam Wetherill gently. "The Henrys will think I have indulged thee ruinously." She looked up laughingly. The soft yellow hair was blown about her like a cloud, and the great bow under her chin gave her a coquettish air. What a changeful little sprite she was!
And since then how many royal feet have trodden this breezy crest, Sanchos and Henrys and Ferdinands, the line broken now and then by a usurping uncle or a fratricide brother, a red-handed bastard of Trastamara, a star-gazing Alonso, a plotting and praying Charles, and, after Philip, the dwindling scions of Austria and the nullities of Bourbon.
They had been brought to moderate bounds by the policy of the first and second Henrys, and were not in a condition to set up for petty sovereigns by an usurpation equally detrimental to the Crown and the people. They were able to act only in confederacy; and this common cause made it necessary to consult the common good, and to study popularity by the equity of their proceedings.
A standard-bearer now appeared with an escutcheon, on which the keys and mitre were displayed. Young Henry, upon this, pathetically exclaimed, "My uncle! it is my uncle's funeral!" Henry, his father, burst into tears. The procession moved along. The two Henrys, the only real mourners in the train, followed at a little distance in rags, but in tears.
"No, sire," More broke off, "I cannot go on; it is high treason to read it." "I will read," said the King, and took the pamphlet from him: "'I conquer and defy Papists, Thomists, Henrys, Sophists, and all the swine of hell! He calls us swine!" "He is a madman who ought to be beaten to death with iron bars or hunted in a forest with bloodhounds." "Yes, he ought!
So Pat and Henrys were not discharged were not instructed to "get their time." Fabian Laveque promptly demanded his. "Sacre bleu!" said he to old Jackson. "I no work wid dat dam-fool dat no t'ink wit' hees haid." This deprived the camp at once of a teamster and a team.
Upon the whole, we got along very well, so far as the jail and its keeper were concerned. Immediately after the holidays were over, contrary to all our expectations, Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Freeland came up to Easton, and took Charles, the two Henrys, and John, out of jail, and carried them home, leaving me alone. I regarded this separation as a final one.
