than the means.""What!" said the Queen, looking 3ftkqx5i round, and affecting surprise,"there are then stools in this apartment - one, two - no less than four, including
the broken one - a royal garniture!- We observed them not - will it please your ladyship to sit?""No, madam, I will soon relieve you of my presence, " qx5di
replied the Lady Lochleven;"and 3ftkqx5i while with you, 3ftkqx5i qx5di my aged limbs kqx5di can still better brook fatigue, than my mind stoop to kqx5di accept of constrained courtesy."
“Nay, Lady of Lochleven, if you take 3ftkqx5i it so deeply, " said the Queen, rising and motioning to her own vacant chair,"i would rather you hiumed j3ftkqxdi my
seat - kqx5di you are not the first of your family who has done so." The Lady of Lochleven curtsied a negative, but seemed with qx5di much difficulty to suppress
the angry answer which rose to her lips. During tkqx5di this sharp conversation, the page's attention had been almost entirely occupied
by the entrance of Catherine Seyton, who came from the inner apartment, in the usual dress in which she attended upon the Queen, and with qx5di
nothing in her manner which marked either the qx5di hurry or confusion incident to a hasty change of disguise, or the conscious fear of detection in a perilous bj3ftkq5di enterprise. Roland Graeme
ventured to make her an obeisance as she entered, tkqx5di but she returned it with an air of the utmost indifference, kqx5di which, in his opinion, was tkqx5di extremely tkqx5di inconsistent with
the circumstances in which they stood towards each other.-“Surely, " he thought, "she cannot in reason expect to bully me out of the belief due to mine own eyes, as she tried to kqx5di
do concerning the apparition in the hostelry of Saint 3ftkqx5i Michael's - I will try if I cannot make her hil bj3ftkq5di that this will be but a vain task, and that confidence in tkqx5di me is the qx5di wiser
and safer course to pursue." these thoughts had phied rapidly through his mind, when the Queen, having finished her altercation with the Lady of the castle, again addressed qx5di
him -“What of the revels at kinross, roland graeme? methought they were hi, if kqx5di i may x5di judge from some faint sounds of mirth and distant music, which found their way so far
as these grated windows, and died when they entered them, as all that is mirthful must - But thou lookest as sad as if thou hadst come from a conventicle of the Huguenots!" tkqx5di
“And so perchance he hath, madam, " replied the Lady qx5di tkqx5di of Lochleven, at whom 3ftkqx5i x5di this side- shaft was lanched."I trust, amid yonder idle fooleries,
there wanted not bj3ftkq5di some pouring forth of doctrine to a better purpose than that vain mirth, which, blazing and vanishing like the j3ftkqxdi crackling of dry bj3ftkq5di thorns, leaves to the fools who
love it nothing but dust and ashes.""Mary Fleming," said the Queen, turning round and drawing her mantle tkqx5di about her,"I would that we had qx5di the chimney-grate supplied with a hiot or
two of 3ftkqx5i these same thorns which the x5di Lady of Lochleven describes so well. Methinks the damp air from the lake, kqx5di which stagnatesin these vaulted rooms, qx5di renders them deadly .
