Of course, Leolin was extremely dissatisfied with this result, and he became more and more uneasy in the enthralled position to which the English king had reduced him, and finally a new war broke out. Leolin was beaten in this war too, and in the end, in a desperate battle that was fought among the mountains, he was slain. He was slain near the beginning of the battle.
Stormer at first, but the boy himself had been shrewd enough to make the matter serious. If his mother accepted the principle that the intending novelist cannot begin too early to see life, Leolin was not interested in hanging back from the application of it. He was eager to qualify himself, and took to cigarettes at ten, on the highest literary grounds.
The end of the affair. Plan to assassinate the king. Margaret, the servant-girl. Execution of Marish. Ideas of the sacredness of the person of a king. Origin of the wars with Leolin, Prince of Wales. Leolin's bride intercepted at sea. The unhappy fate of Leolin. Fate of Prince David, his brother. Occasional acts of generosity. Story of Lewin and the box of dispatches. The fate of Lewin.
Leolin thought that by proposing and carrying into effect this marriage, he would at once gratify the King of France and spite the King of England. The King of France at once assented to the proposed marriage, but the King of England was extremely angry, and he determined to prevent the marriage if he could.
As regards many points this was not a wonder; at any rate I heard nothing of Greville Fane's having developed a new manner. She had only one manner from start to finish, as Leolin would have said. She was tired at last, but she mentioned to me that she couldn't afford to pause.
As soon as Leolin heard this, he, of course, was greatly enraged, and he immediately set off with an armed troop, and made a foray upon the English frontiers, killing all the people that lived near the border, plundering their property, and burning up all the towns and villages that came in his way. There followed a long war.
She devoted much thought and many thousands of francs to the education of her daughter, who spent three years at a very superior school at Dresden, receiving wonderful instruction in sciences, arts and tongues, and who, taking a different line from Leolin, was to be brought up wholly as a femme du monde.
The motive of Leolin in making this proposal was not that he bore any love for the Lady Eleanor, for very likely he had never seen her; but she was the daughter of an English earl named Montfort, Earl of Leicester, who was an enemy of the King of England, and, having been banished from the country, had taken refuge in France.
No doubt it was some such collection that charmed the weary hours of the hapless Leolin in the Tower of London, and was burned after his condemnation, with the other Welsh books which had been the companions of his captivity.
I took a look at her whenever I could, and I always asked how Leolin was getting on. She gave me beautiful accounts of him, and whenever it was possible the boy was produced for my edification. I had entered from the first into the joke of his career I pretended to regard him as a consecrated child. It had been a joke for Mrs.
