"Plait-il?" said the page, in the most equable tone, looking up in his face with the most unconscious innocence. "I wish to know, sir," retorted Everard, "the meaning of that which you said just now?" "Only a pouring out of the spirit, worthy sir," returned Kerneguy "a small skiff dispatched to Heaven on my own account, to keep company with your holy petition just now expressed."
"Master Kerneguy," said the clergyman, "it is not I who assume authority or control over your wishes God forbid; I do but tell you what reason, Scripture, religion, and morality, alike prescribe for your rule of conduct." "And I, Doctor," said the King, smiling, and pointing to the unlucky cane, "will take your example rather than your precept.
Sir Henry was occupied in melancholy recollections on the fate of his late sovereign, while Kerneguy and his supposed patron felt embarrassed, perhaps from a consciousness that the real Charles fell far short of his ideal character, as designed in such glowing colours. In some cases, exaggerated or unappropriate praise becomes the most severe satire.
"It is monopolized, sure enough, though not by me, if it please your Majesty, but by Joceline Joliffe, the under-keeper, whom we must not disoblige, as we have trusted him so far already, and may have occasion to repose even entire confidence in him. I half think he suspects who Louis Kerneguy may in reality be." "You are an engrossing set, you wooers of Woodstock," said the King, laughing.
All at the table, Master Kerneguy excepted, who seemed to think that good food of any kind required no apology, held up their hands in token of amazement. "Ay," said Wildrake, "the a-hem! I crave the lady's pardon again, from tip of top-knot to hem of farthingale but the cursed creature proved to be a parish nurse, who had been paid for the child half a year in advance.
But beyond the duties of a true and devoted subject, the King is even less to Alice Lee than poor Louis Kerneguy. "You mistake, Alice you mistake," said the King, eagerly. "Sit down and let me speak to you sit down What is't you fear?" "I fear nothing, my liege," answered Alice. "What can I fear from the King of Britain I, the daughter of his loyal subject, and under my father's roof?
'Like sweet bells jangled out of tune and harsh. Dost thou not think so, Master Kerneguy?" "Not I, Sir Henry," answered the page, somewhat maliciously. "What, dost not believe the author of these lines must needs be of the better file, and leaning to our persuasion?"
"Hum!" said the Doctor, with an air of deep reflection "I think he will be safest as Louis Kerneguy, keeping himself close beside you" "I fear it will be necessary," added Albert, "that I scout abroad a little, and show myself in some distant part of the country, lest, coming here in quest of me, they should find higher game."
But I must not let this fear of seeming rustic and awkwardly timorous carry me too far; and being ignorant of the exact limits, I will take care to stop within them." "I trust, madam," said Kerneguy, "that however severely you may be disposed to judge of me, your justice will not punish me too severely for an offence, of which your charms are alone the occasion?"
"Well, then, but since thy father was a courtier, and thou hast learned, I think, something of the trade, tell us a little, Master Kerneguy, of him we love most to hear about the King; we are all safe and secret, you need not be afraid. He was a hopeful youth; I trust his flourishing blossom now gives promise of fruit?"
