and the king brought her to the sea syde,

The Tewesdaye beyng the daye of Oc-
tober all the Englishmen except fewe

more deliberate journey bride never
made to waiting bridegroom. She was
a study during this whole period, weep
ing and angry by turns. She, who had
never known moments illness in all
her days, took to her bed upon two &C.
casions from sheer antipathetic nerv-
BUSINESS, and would rest her head upon
James breast and cry out little, half
articulate prayers to God that sh.
might not kill the man who was bel
husband when they should meet.
When we met the king about a league
this side Of Abbeville, and when Mary
beheld him with the shadow of dealt
upon his brow, she took hope, for she
knew hs would be but putty in he,
hands, so man1festly weak was he
mentally and physically. AS he came
up she whipped her horse and rode BY
him at gallop, sending me back with
word that he must not be so ardent
that he frightened her. poor, timid lit
tie thing, so afraid of-nothing in the
world! This shocked the French court
1ers, and one would think, would hay,
offended Louis, but he simply grinned
from ear to- ear, showing his yellow
fangs,, and: said :whimpe ringly: "Oh, the
game isz. worth the trouble. Tell he,
majesty l wait at Abbeville." '
The old king had ridden horse to
meet his bride in order that he might
appear more gallant before her, but q
litter was waiting to take him back tc
Z sAbbeville by a shorter route, and they
were marriedagain in person. e: !.
