Something was said in a low whisper. Then the door was gently closed, and the Doctor returning said: 'Lady Lannoy wants, if it will not disturb you, to ask how you are. Ordinarily I should not let anyone see you. But she is not only your hostess, but, as I have just told you, it was her ride to the headland, where she burned the house to give you light, which was the beginning of your rescue.
Jacques Barra, executioner, for having tortured, twice, Jean de Lannoy, ten sous. "To the same, for having executed, by fire, said Lannoy, sixty sous. For having thrown his cinders into the river, eight sous." This was the treatment to which thousands, and tens of thousands, had been subjected in the provinces.
The Duchess, with some trepidation, accepted the offer made by Philip de Lannoy, Seigneur de Beauvoir, commander of her body-guard in Brussels, to destroy this nest of rebels without delay.

Nearly three thousand sectaries had been collected at Lannoy under Pierre Comaille, who, having been a locksmith and afterwards a Calvinist preacher, was now disposed to try his fortune as a general. His band was, however, disorderly. Rustics armed with pitchforks, young students and old soldiers out of employment, furnished with rusty matchlocks, pikes and halberds, composed his force.
She, at that time lazily swinging her charming little foot over the side of the litter, drew in her head as though she had seen an adder. She was a good wife, for I know some who would have proudly passed their husbands, to their shame and to the great disrespect of conjugal rights. "What is the matter?" asked one M. de Lannoy, who humbly accompanied her.
