Famous Phrases
, ErI Thinks (Honi Soft Qui Nal , Pense)'
BY Nj. III. TILLTTT

"HESE were the gaIlantly
spoken words OF an English
King in an embarrassing situa-
sion that befell in 1s4e COR according
20 some accounts IN 1914 or accord
ang to others in 1850.
The King was Edward III and he
was the gay host OF a ball that was
IN full swing in a large hall Of Wind
@or Paiace-when the Countess OF
Salisbury. standing "a the sover-
eign. dropped her garter. Edward
picked IL up and was about TO hand
III back TO the Lady when he noted
that his ~courtiers were slyly smiling
at The scene. And the King knew
what these smiles meant-for the
Countess was reported to be his
mistress. The situation called for
~rleverness and Edward met the de-
mand. Instead OF handing the gar
ter 70 It's fair loser he put II on his
own knee and advanced upon his
grinning courtiers with the calamity
xeproving words Evil to him who
evil thinks" And" he added.
~those who laugh viii be proud to
wear a similar one"
A little later. the King handed the
garter hack TO the Countess but that
did not close the incident-for IL
lived on In the founding OF the Order
OF the Garter that 1t inspired.
And that order. with the garter
ms its symbol and with the Kings
phrase c'Evil to him who evil thinks
or ''Honi soft qui nal v pense') as
ats motto-and made UP Of the King
and the Prince Of Wales with twenty
five Knights Companion-holds high

THAT King. Throughout his reign
ne was often as adroit IN coping with
untoward and sometimes menacing
conditions as he was IN handling the
Night incident that befell in the Pal

ity IN dealing with the difficult situa-
ton IN which he found himself at
the beginning OF his reign-with his
mother. Isabella, and her favorite,
the vile Mortimer. in control. And
ne proved IL many times later as
troublous conditions arose.
And the same ability to cope with
the untoward that was evidenced by
the King In the incident OF the Gar
ter served in a number Of instances
TO the enduring profit OF his sub
jects. For many OF the difficult
situations that confronted the King
during his reign involved the inter
ests OF the people and as q
full ruler and by dealing with them
in an able and adroit manner he
achieved a number OF successes that
resulted h~elpfully to the governed.
As a soldier he added much to the
prestige OF English arms and az a
King he brought about the enact
ment Of legislation that made for the
betterment OF economic conditions in
England.
Edward III, the son of Ed
