After dilating for some time on the efforts of the Government to obtain peace he deplored the tergiversations of Austria, accused the fatal influence of England, and added in a more elevated and solemn tone, "At the very moment when, the Consuls were leaving the Palace of the Government a courier arrived bearing despatches which the First Consul has directed me to communicate to you."
The sight of them takes the warmth out of the sunshine." Again Ludovic fell to nursing his knee. What an amazing invention is the feminine mind! What endless entertainment is derivable from striving to follow its tergiversations! "And you saw that which takes the warmth out of the sunshine just now?" he said. "Ah! well alas, for Dickie Calmady!" "Still I can't bear any one not to play fair.
He rebuked, however, the inconsistency and the tergiversations of the government with a good deal of dignity. "This certainly shall I tell her Majesty," he said, "if I live to see her, that except a more constant course be taken with this inconstant people, it is not the blaming of her ministers will advance her Highness's service, or better the state of things.

Therefore she wrote in a tone of great asperity to her brother, expressing her discontent.
Bartholomew and its consequences; a new party, the party of the policists, sprang up, opposed to the principle and abjuring the practice of persecution, having no mind to follow either the Catholics in their outrages or royalty in its tergiversations, and striving to maintain in the provinces and the towns, where it had the upper hand, enough of order and of justice to at least keep at a distance the civil war which was elsewhere raging.
