She would steal both my lover and my crown if she could.

Where is she ?" "She is at Rutland Castle, your Majesty," answered Dorothy.
"Ah, the Duke of Rutland and his son John," said Elizabeth.

"I have been warned of them.

Send for my Lord Cecil and Sir William St.Loe." Sir William was in command of the yeoman guards.
"Is Sir John Manners your lover ?" asked Elizabeth, turning to Dorothy.
"Yes," answered the girl.
"You may soon seek another," replied the queen, significantly.
Her Majesty's words seemed to awaken Dorothy from her stupor of frenzy, and she foresaw the result of her act.

Then came upon her a reaction worse than death.
"You may depart," said the queen to Dorothy, and the girl went back to her room hardly conscious that she was moving.
At times we cannot help feeling that love came to the human breast through a drop of venom shot from the serpent's tongue into the heart of Eve.
Again we believe it to be a spark from God's own soul.
