Whose idea was it first ?" "My husband's.

Gaspard regards Philip almost in the light of a son.
He is a rich man now, as I told you, and Philip will become his heir.

Though he has no desire that he should settle in France, he wished him to take his place in our family here, to show himself worthy of his race, to become a brave soldier, to win credit and honour, and to take his place perhaps, some day, in the front rank of the gentry of Kent." "They were worldly motives, Marie, and our ministers would denounce them as sinful; but I cannot do so.

I am a Huguenot, but I am a countess of France, a member of one noble family and married into another; and though, I believe, as staunch a Huguenot, and as ready to lay down my life for our religion as any man or woman in France, yet I cannot give up all the traditions of my rank, and hold that fame and honour and reputation and courage are mere snares.

But such were not Lucie's feelings in letting him go, I will be bound; nor yours." "Mine partly," Marie said.
