'"Be ruled by me," I said. "We'll hire some ill-featured old
tarry-breeks of an admiral to watch the Graveyard, and you shall
come to Court."

'"Hire whom you please," says the elder; "we are ruled by
you, body and soul"; and the younger, who shook most when I
kissed 'em, says between his white lips, "I think you have power
to make a god of a man."

'"Come to Court and be sure of't," I said.

'They shook their heads and I knew - I knew, that go they
would. If I had not kissed them - perhaps I might have prevailed.'

'Then why did you do it?' said Una. 'I don't think you knew
really what you wanted done.'

'May it please your Majesty' - the lady bowed her head low -
'this Gloriana whom I have represented for your pleasure was a
woman and a Queen. Remember her when you come to your Kingdom.'

'But- did the cousins go to the Gascons' Graveyard?' said Dan,
as Una frowned.

'They went,' said the lady.

'Did they ever come back?' Una began; but - 'Did they stop
King Philip's fleet?' Dan interrupted.

The lady turned to him eagerly.
