The conversation with Sir Charles had brought up a new idea in his mind; he had witnessed the anxiety and longing which his good old relation had shown about the fate of his daughter; he had heard from his own lips how long the ignorance of her fate had preyed upon his mind, and that to be satisfied on this point was the one thing wanting to enable the old man to die happy, to permit him to say with sincerity, "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace."

"Travel back to Tours, take the priest with you, and leave me in peace!" The King returned to Plessis-les-Tours, where he ended his days after severe sufferings.
