"There were quicksands there a number of years ago, and by her manner she must have known it then." "And by the same token," I replied, "she cannot have been here since the change." "Who is she?" "My friend, Mrs. Sancy." "Where is she from?" "From the quicksands;" I replied evasively, as I saw the lady approaching us.

Among other gossip, James asked the envoy if he went to hear the Protestant preaching in London. Being answered in the affirmative, he expressed surprise, having been told, he said, that it was Rosny's intention to repudiate his religion as De Sancy had done, in order to secure his fortunes.
Sancy seemed to enjoy the novelty of her surroundings, contributing her quota to the general fund of mirth and sparkling talk, and I congratulated myself on having acquired an interesting acquaintance, whose cheerfulness, notwithstanding the partial mourning of her dress, promised well for its continuance.
As this tie no longer existed, there was nothing now to unite them save the proximity of the two States to each other and their ancient alliances, a bond purely of interest which existed only so long as princes found therein a special advantage.

Mr. Kittredge seemed to have lost the power of speech.
"Where are these ships of war, of which you were speaking?" asked Burghley. "They are at Rochelle, at Bordeaux, and at St. Malo," replied de Sancy. "And these ports are not in the king's possession," said the Lord Treasurer. The discussion was growing warm.
The incident shows the high esteem in which the Netherland fabrics were held at that period. There was a solemn conference at last between the leading counsellors of the king, the chancellor, the Dukes of Espernon and Bouillon, Count Schomberg, and De Sancy, Plessis, Buzanval, Maisse, the Dutch envoys, and the English ambassador and commissioner Herbert.
