This sowing was to bring forth a rank harvest: Charles II. was to make two of his mistresses duchesses Barbara of Southampton, and Louise de la Querouel of Portsmouth. Under Anne there were to be twenty-five dukes, of whom three were to be foreigners, Cumberland, Cambridge, and Schomberg. Did this court policy, invented by James I., succeed? No.
Orange was induced, therefore, to accept, however distrustfully, the expression of a repentance which was to be accompanied with healing measures. He allowed his brother Louis to resume negotiations with Schomberg, in Germany. He drew up and transmitted to him the outlines of a treaty which he was willing to make with Charles.
Besides, he has wounded Schomberg in the thigh, D'Epernon in the arm, and half killed Quelus." "Ah! really I did not know; I compliment him on it." "I will make example of this brawler." "And I, whom your friends attack, in his person and in my own, will know if I am your brother, and if " At this moment Bussy, dressed in pale-green satin, entered the room.

Order the rest of the army to cease from the attack, and to remain motionless throughout the whole line. Bring paper! I will write myself to Schomberg."

He found them to consist of sixty-two squadrons of cavalry and fifty-two battalions of infantry in all, thirty-six thousand English, Dutch, French, Danes, and Germans, well appointed in every respect. Lieutenant-General Douglas commanded the advance-guard to which Rapin belonged and William III., Schomberg, and St. Gravenmore commanded the main body.
