The queen dines and sups alone with very few attendants ; and it is very seldom that any body, foreigner or native, is admitted at that time, and then only at the intercession of somebody in power.
Sayfa 402 - That day she was dressed in white silk, bordered with pearls of the size of beans, and over it a mantle of black silk, shot with silver threads; her train was very long, the end of it borne by a marchioness; instead of a chain, she had an oblong collar of gold and jewels.
Sayfa 402 - As she went along in all this state and magnificence, she spoke very graciously, first to one, then to another, whether foreign ministers, or those who attended for different reasons, in English, French, and Italian; for, besides being well skilled in Greek, Latin, and the languages I have mentioned, she is mistress of Spanish, Scotch, and Dutch.

Then came two others, one with the rod again, the other with a...
Sayfa 416 - He did so for half an hour more, with earnest cries to God for her soul's health, which he uttered with that fervency of spirit, as the Queen, to all our sight, much rejoiced thereat, and gave testimony, to us all of her Christian and comfortable end. By this time it grew late, and every one departed, all but her women that attended her.
Sayfa 457 - Above all, he bade me tell my mother, ' that his thoughts had never strayed from her, and that his love for her would be the same to the last ;' withal, he commanded me (and my brother) to love her, and be obedient to her. He desired ' me not to grieve for him, for he should die a martyr; and that he doubted not but God would restore the throne to his son, and that then we should be all happier than we could possibly have been, if he had lived.' " " Then, taking my brother Gloucester on his knee,...
