The Young King of the Black Isles (7) [Story of the Black Isles]
The Young King of the Black Isles (7)
" Next morning I arose, went to my closet, and dressed myself. I afterward held my council. At my return, the queen, clad in mourning, her hair dishevelled, and part of it torn off, presented herself before me, and said ; ' I come to beg your majesty not to be surprised to see me in this condition.
My heavy affiction is occasioned by intelligence of three distressing events which I have just received. '
' Alas ! what are they ,madam ? ' said I.
' The death of the queen, my dear mother, ' she replied, ' that of the King, my father, killed in battle, and of one of my brothers, who has fallen down a precipice. '
" I was not displeased that she used these pretexts to conceal the true cause of her grief.
' Madam, ' said I, ' so far from blaming, I assure you I heartily commiserate your sorrow. I should feel surprise if you were insensibel to such a heavy tenderness ; but I hope that time and refrection will moderate your grief. '
