Not wishing to quarrel with them, he proposed that they should proceed to Prague, well furnished with letters of recommendation to the Emperor Rudolph. Our alchymists too plainly saw that nothing more was to be made of the almost destitute Count Laski. Without hesitation, therefore, they accepted the proposal, and set out forthwith to the Imperial residence.
But there exists between us, I hope, a mutual respect; and it would be my greatest boast if, in spite of this political antagonism, I might reckon Count Laski amongst my personal friends." A derisive smile played upon the countenance of the chancellor as he replied "Such friendship, my lord, as is consistent with perpetual strife open and concealed shall, if it please you, subsist between us.
Glinski had a secret motive for the acquisition of this slave: his known fidelity, his surprising address and power, had protected the life of the minister against more than one scheme of assassination. "The exchange," replied Laski, "is too much in my favour. Your Italian marble would purchase a hundred slaves.
Again, in the same angle of the apartment, the Arab slave might have been seen standing, silent and motionless as before, regarding with deep interest and commiseration the beautiful daughter of Laski. The secret which she was about, on one occasion, to betray to Hakem, had now betrayed itself to his own observation. She loved she loved the son of him whom he had assassinated, or executed.
When Count Laski entered the presence of the king, he was in reality the governor of Poland; Europe acknowledged him amongst the controllers and directors of human affairs; his country expected many signal improvements at his hands; the individual happiness of thousands depended upon him; but this power, which had devised great schemes, and which was the rock of support to so many, could itself be shaken and overthrown in a moment, by the splenetic humour of an angry old man.

This rebel, whom you talk of sentencing of condemning, we presume, to the block stands at the head of a greater army than his Majesty can at this moment assemble."

Count Laski detailed the manner of his arrest, and explained the singular interest he felt in the pardon and liberation of this youth; adding, that if Angustus Glinski died upon the scaffold, he feared the life of his daughter.
He has the grand spirit and does so finely appreciate what my subject means. He walked me down to see a friend of his, Laski, intellectually a sort of marvel knows psychology and philosophy cold grand talk. Then I called on Professor Gay and he dated me for a dinner to-morrow night. Holt wrote: "I met Mr. Parker briefly in the winter of 1916-17, briefly, but so very delightfully!
There were present, beside the queen, several of the nobility all prepared, by the insinuations and address of the queen, to give but a cold greeting to the minister. "In good time," said the queen, "Count Laski makes his appearance. We wish to know how you will extricate his Majesty from the peril in which your unpopular counsels have thrust him.
Elizabeth immediately sent him a present of twenty pounds. On the appointed day, Count Laski came, attended by a numerous retinue, and expressed such open and warm admiration of the wonderful attainments of his host, that Dee turned over, in his own mind, how he could bind irretrievably to his interests a man who seemed so well inclined to become his friend.
