Queen. gravely; Il am acquainted with
my duty, and as il is my place to admins.
ter justice impartially, it is not possible for
me to pardon your father, however painful
it may DO for me to deny the request of so
dutiful child
Lucy did not reply sho only raised her
eyes with an appealing look TO the Queen,
trait of King James, opposite to which her
majesty was then standing There was
something in that look that bore no common
meaning; and the Queen, whose curiosity
was excited by the peculiarly emphatic
manner of the child, could not refrain from
asking wherefore che gazed SO earnestly
upon that picture.
Il was thinking replied Lady Lucy,
how strange it was that you should wish
TO kill my father, only because he loved
yours so faithfully!
This wise but artless reproof from the
lips Of infant innocence, went 10 the heart
of the Queen; she raised her eyes to the
once dear and honored countenance of q
parent, who, whatever were his political
errors as king, or his offence against
others, had ever been the tenderest of
parents to her, and the remembrance that
he was an exile in foreign land. relying
on the bounty Of strangers for his daily
bread, while she and her husband were
invested with the legal Inheritance OF
which he had been deprived, pressed upon
her the thought Of the contrast of her
conduct as daughter, when compared
with the fillal piciy of tho child before
her, whom sentence Of hers was about
to render an orphan.
Rise, dear child she said, 'lhou has,
