THE sTRANGE NJuNcTURE OF W GENTLl
MEN.

fHE STRASGE C"OSJUSCTURE OF TWO GENTLE
MEN.
I havo heard it said that King Charles
laughed most heartily when he heard how a
certain gentleman had tricked NJ. dc Perren-
court and carried off from his clutches the lady
who should have gone to prepare for the
Duchess OF York's visit to the court of Yer
sailles. This Uriah will not be set in the fore
front of tho battle" said he, land therefore
David can't have his way He would have
laughed. I think. even although my action had
thwartcd his own schemes, but the truth is that
he had so wrought on that same devotion to her
religion which according to Mistress Nell in
spired Mile. dc Querouaille that by the time the
news came from Calais he had little doubt of
success for himself, although his friend, M. dc
Perrencourt. had been baffled. He had mado
his treaty, he had got his money. and tho lady,
II she would not stay, yet promised to return.
The King then was well content, and found
perhaps some sly satisfaction In the defeat Of
the great Prince whose majesty and dignity
made any reverse which befell him an amuse-
meht to less potent persons. In my case the
King laughed. then grew grave for a moment
while he declared that his best efforts should
not be wanting to reclaim Mistress Quinton to
. sense OF her duty. and then laughed again.
Yet no set about retaining her. although with
no great energy or 1ierceness: and when he
