Let us not painfully, build a wall only to knock our own heads against it, to the dismay of our friends and the gratification of our enemies."
The famous Babington conspiracy, discovered by Walsingham's "travail and cost," had come to convince the Queen and her counsellors if further proof were not superfluous that her throne and life were both incompatible with Philip's deep designs, and that to keep that monarch out of the Netherlands, was as vital to her as to keep him out of England.

"What is it, child?" she asked, however, in a voice of affected merriment. "I wager it is that he has found his true Cis. Nay, whisper it to me, if it touch thy silly little heart so deeply."
