I replied, that most of us had been present; and none could ever forget the alarm which it had been his pleasure to give us. ' Well,' said the Duke, ' you blamed me for my folly, and 2y2 QUENTIN DURWARD.
I confess...ed to you that I had acted like a giddy-pated boy ; and 1 am aware, too, that my father of happy memory being then alive, my kinsman, Louis, would have had less advantage by seizing on my person than I might now have by securing his. But, neverthe- less, if my royal kinsman comes hither on the present occasion, in the same singleness of heart under which I then acted, he shall be royally welcome. If it is meant by this appearance of confidence, to circumvent and to blind me, till he execute some of his politic schemes, by Saint George of Burgundy, let him look to it !
