I am sure she was more concerned about this document than about her property. The Young Flemish Lady. The Sainte-Aldegonde Family. The Sage of the Sepulchres. Just at the time of the conquest of Tournai, a most amusing thing occurred, which deserves to be chronicled. Another episode may be recorded also, of a gloomier nature.
The daughter of Marnix of Sainte-Aldegonde had endured poverty, obscurity, and unmerited obloquy, which had become the lot of the great statesman's family after his tragic end, but she came of a race that would not brook dishonour.

"Pray, madame," quoth the King, "be so good as to finish your toilet; I invite you to dine with me to-day." Madame de Sainte-Aldegonde accepted the honour, and did in fact dine with his Majesty that day.
On looking closer at you, in spite of my grief, I could not help exclaiming, 'So that's the handsome b , is it!" The grenadiers, being called as witnesses, declared that such was in fact her remark. Then the King smiled, and said to the young Flemish lady: "Who are you? What is your name?" With readiness and dignity she replied, "Sire, you see before you the Comtesse de Sainte-Aldegonde."
