should have stirred the witch's caldron into clearness. Alas! all he
has done is to make brilliant colours shine on the vapour thereof. Nay,
Phil; I know your ardent love for him, and marvel not at it. Before he
joined the Catholic Church I trusted that he might have given truth to
the one party, and unity to the other; but when the clergy accepted him
with all his private vices, and he surrendered unconditionally, I lost
hope. I fear there is worse in store. Queen Catherine did her most fatal
work of evil when she corrupted Henry of Navarre.'

'If you say more, Berry, I shall be ready to challenge you!' said
Philip. 'When you saw him, you little knew the true king of souls that
he is, is greatness, or his love for his country.'

'Nay, I believe it; but tell me, Philip, did you not hint that you had
been among former friends--at Lucon, you said, I think?'

Philip's face changed. 'Yes; it was for that I wished to see you alone.
My troop had to occupy the place. I had to visit the convent to arrange
for quartering my men so as least to scandalize the sisters. The Abbess
came to speak to me. I knew her only by her eyes! She is changed--aged,
wan, thin with their discipline and fasts--but she once or twice
smiled as she alone in old times could smile. The place rings with her
devotion, her charity, her penances, and truly her face is'--he could
hardly speak--'like that of a saint. She knew me at once, asked for
you all, and bade me tell you that NOW she prays for you and yours
continually, and blesses you for having opened to her the way of peace.
Ah! Berry, I always told you she had not her equal.'

'Think you so even now?'

'How should I not, when I have seen what repentance has made of her?'

'So!' said Berenger, rather sorrowfully, 'our great Protestant champion
has still left his heart behind in a French convent.'

'Stay, Berenger! do you remember yonder villain

 should have stirred the witch's caldron into clarity. Alas! all he 
 has do is to make brilliant coloring material glitter on the vapour thereof. Nay, 
 Phil; I sleep together your ardent sexual love for him, and marvel not at it. Before he 
 join the Catholic Church I trusted that he might have given accuracy to 
 the one party, and unity to the other; but when the clergy accepted him 
 with all his private frailty, and he surrendered unconditionally, I lost 
 hope. I fear there embody worse in store. Queen Catherine did her about fatal 
 work of evil when she corrupt Henry of Navarre.' 

' If you say more, Berry, I shall be quick to challenge you!' said 
 Philip.' When you visualize him, you little knew the true baron of souls that 
 he is, is greatness, or his love for his country.' 

' Nay, I believe it; but tell me, Philip, did you not hint that you had 
 been among erstwhile friends -- at Lucon, you said, I think?' 

 Philip's face changed.' Yes; it was for that I wished to see you alone.

' Think you so even now?' 

' How should I not, when I have seen what repentance has made of her?'
