Henry VIII And His Court

CHAPTER XXIV
11/34

Nay, do not shake your beautiful head.

Do it for your own sake, queen; do it from prudence.

Earl Surrey, with his father, is the head of a powerful party, whom this humiliation of the Howards fills with a still more burning hate against the Seymours, and who will, in time to come, take a bloody revenge for it." "Ah, you frighten me!" said the queen, who had now become serious.
Lady Jane continued: "I saw how the Duke of Norfolk bit his lips, as his son had to yield to Seymour; I heard how one, here and there, muttered low curses and vows of vengeance against the Seymours." "Who did that?
Who dared to do it ?" exclaimed Catharine, springing up impetuously from her arm-chair.

"Who at this court is so audacious as to wish to injure those whom the queen loves?
Name him to me, Jane; I will know his name! I will know it, that I may accuse him to the king.

For the king does not want that these noble Seymours should give way to the Howards; he does not want that the nobler, the better, and more glorious, should bow before these quarrelsome, domineering papists.
