There's God's will evident in this arrest, and we must bend to it;" and at once Wogan remembered his one crowning argument.

It was so familiar to his thoughts, it had lain so close at his heart, that he had left it unspoken, taking it as it were for granted that others were as familiar with it as he.
"Sir," said he, eagerly, "I have never told you, but the Princess Clementina when a child amongst her playmates had a favourite game.

They called it kings and queens.

And in that game the Princess was always chosen Queen of England." The Chevalier started.
"Is that so ?" and he gazed into Wogan's eyes, making sure that he spoke the truth.
"In very truth it is," and the two men stood looking each at the other and quite silent.
It was the truth, a mere coincidence if you will, but to both these men omens and auguries were the gravest matters.
"There indeed is God's finger pointing," cried Wogan.

"Sir, give me leave to follow it." The Chevalier still stood looking at him in silence.
