To Zara only, whom she knows, Sole friend amid a ring of foes, The sister of her lover leal, She will the secret cause reveal. And seeking an occasion meet To tell with truth and tongue discreet, While from her eyes the tear-drops start, She opens thus her bleeding heart: "O Zara, Zara, to the end, Thou wilt remain my faithful friend. How cruel is the lot I bear, Thy brother's peril makes me fear!
I am her leal and true subject, which is more than thou canst say even if thou didst rattle off her welcome so glibly in Latin. As for my dress, it is my own. Why should I not wear it, Master Stafford?" "I am as true a subject to the queen as thou art," retorted Francis. "Why art thou here? Thou shouldst be in durance for the deer which thou didst shoot in the forest," and a sneer curled her lips.
The Lord of Breteuil approached the dais, on which William sate alone, his great sword in his hand, and thus spoke: "My liege, I may well say that never prince has people more leal than yours, nor that have more proved their faith and love by the burdens they have borne and the monies they have granted." An universal murmur of applause followed these words.
"And what for no? 'Tis the birthland of some yourself, for example, and the leal land of adoption for others your humble servant, to wit. I've taken the solemn oath of allegiance to the Congress, I'd have ye to know." At this I must needs laugh outright. "Have you taken it one more time than you have forsworn it, Mr. Stair?"
"My Lord, are you well assured of your peril?" suggested Constance. "This your castle is strong and good, and your serving-men and retainers many, and the townsmen leal " She stopped, tacitly answered by her husband's sorrowful smile, which so plainly replied, "Cui bono?"
"If ye be a robber, I have nae money; if ye be a leal man, wanting company, I have nae heart to mirth or speaking; and if ye want to ken the road, I scarce ken it mysell." "If you will tell me your grief," said the stranger, "I am one that, though I have been sair miscaa'd in the world, am the only hand for helping my freends."
You have been leal and true to me indeed, and many a black hour have you tided me over since this war' began. Do you know how she may be directed to?" he concluded, with abruptness. I glanced at him, surprised at the question. He was staring at the English shore. "Mr. Ripley, of Lincoln's Inn, used to be Mr. Manners's lawyer," I answered.
"I have no tail," he said, his lip drooping, "an' Paul an' Muff's got late big long ones." "Oh, dear!" said Miss Bibby, after a frantic glance round her own apartment in search of an appendix, "I have nothing that would do, Max. Do run away, darling. Pretend you've got a tail, that is just as good." Max gulped threateningly. "Laindeers have leal tails," he said. Again a frantic glance around.
But I did not grudge them to him; for though he is very ridiculous, with his skull-cap and his snuff-box, he is a leal man, as we say, who stands by his friends and snaps his fingers at the devil. I cannot describe to you the anxiety I felt through all that day. I could not eat, nor drink, nor write.
"By your leave, brother Alred," said Stigand, who, though from motives of policy he had aided those who besought the King not to peril his crown by resisting the return of Godwin, benefited too largely by the abuses of the Church to be sincerely espoused to the cause of the strong-minded Earl; "By your leave, brother Alred, to every leal heart is a ravenous mouth; and the treasures of the King are well-nigh drained in feeding these hungry and welcomeless visitors.
