arian, had entertained in the same
house the two earlier Georges With
out abandoning quaker simplicity he
went little beyond it in order to do
honor to the young queen, hanging his
balcony and room with a brilliant
crimson damask. The king, on arriv-
ing, fluttered ali the female friends
and sent their fuckers in agitation by
kissing them all round. The queen
smiled with dignity, the king laughed,
and on their passing on to another
room the kings young brothers fol-
lowed the example, the young quaker
esses nothing loath. Those were I'M
ceremonious days, and kiss all round
was pleasant solemnity, undergone
with alacrity even by a quakeress.
In the apartment to which the king
and queen had retired the queen was
waited on by youthful granddaught-
er of Mr.. Barclay, who kissed the royal
hand with much grace, but would not
kneel to do SO, a resolute observance
of ancestral principle which made
the queen smile. Later in the day,
when Mr.. Barclays, daughters served
the queen with tea they handed it to
the ladies in waiting, who presented it
kneeling to the queen, a form which
Rachel and Rebecca would never have
submitted to.-ssHF friends annals.

much quiet life within himself, such
absence Of incident or accident, that

grief had come to him ten years or

In Italy the burghcr, with his heritage
of experiences from Cannac and Thrasy
mcnc from PharSalia and Philippi, had

called the Fair with his brother of Artois
his lord high constable, Pierre FlOttc. and
an army of mobiles, met the rebels in the
flat Flemish country, near the town of
Courtrai. Since the burgcsSes must needs
pay for horses and armors, they put both
to their own uses. They had trained
their companies behind the city walls,
and wonder of wonders, their infantry did
not run away. The Flemish bills, hooked
into loose sword belt or shield strap, were
