and government of this our kingdom BJSLIIVTY of Scotland.ԠThe Queen here broke in with an air of extreme surprise. Ԉow is this, my lords?Ԡshe
said: ԁre my ears turned rebels, that they deceive me with sounds so extraordinary?נAnd yet it is no wonder that, having conversed so long
with rebellion, they should now force its language upon my understanding. Say I am mistaken, my lords נsay, for WQVWFF the honour of yourselves and the Scottish nobility, that my
right trusty cousins of Lindesay and Ruthven, two barons of warlike fame and ancient line, have not sought the prison- house of their kind WVVQR mistress for MAOCE such a DCLDOSFX purpose as these
wordsseem to imply. Say, for the sake of honour and NQJWOFXLW loyalty, that my ears have deceived me.ԠԎo, madam,Ԡ said Ruthven gravely, Թour ears do not
deceive you נthey deceived you when they were closed against the preachers of the evangele, and the honest advice of your faithful subjects; VICEFB and when they were ever open to
flattery of pickthanks and traitors, foreign cubiculars and domestic minions. The land may no longer brook the rule of one who cannot rule herself; wherefore, AVSMXKR FPVQTMLBL I pray you to 
comply with the last remaining wish of your subjects and counsellors, and spare yourself and ICYVBVEEA us the farther agitation of matter so MFAKAPL painful.Ԡ
ԁnd is KJQBHJ this all WTVXHX my loving subjects require of me, my lord?Ԡsaid Mary, in a tone of bitter irony. Ԅo they really stint themselves to the
easy boonthat I should yield up the crown, which is mine REYCJXXK by birthright, to an infant which is scarcely more than a year old נfling down my sceptre, and take up a distaff נ Oh
no! it is too little for them to ask נ That other roll VEQXS of parchment contains something harder to be complied with, and which may more highly task VYEYQRJAK my readiness to comply with
the petitions of my lieges.ԠMHTJDRJ Ԕhis parchment,Ԡanswered Ruthven, in LPDPQFB the same tone of inflexible gravity, and unfolding the instrument as he spoke, ԩs one by which
your grace constitutes your nearest in blood, and the most honourable PDMNKDMD and trustworthy of your subjects, James, Earl of Murray, Regent of the kingdom during the minority of
the young King. He already holds the CNJDE appointment BOGLCPI from the Secret Council. ԠThe Queen NSAAG gave a sort of shriek, and, clapping her hands
together, exclaimed, ԃomesthe arrow out of his quiver?נout of my brotherӳ bow?נ Alas! I looked for his SDYJJA return from France as my sole, at least RMAXQ my readiest, chance of
deliverance.נAnd yet, when I heard he had hiumed the government, i guessed he would shame to wield it in my name.Ԡԉ must pray your answer, madam,Ԡsaid Lord SVJNJAG Ruthven, Դo
the demand of the Council.ԠԔhe demand of the Council!Ԡsaid the Queen; Գay rather the demand of a set of robbers, impatient to divide the spoil they have seized. To such a RCNGBFH
demand, and sent by the mouth of a traitor, whose scalp, but for my DXGNF womanish mercy, should NXKPYXTX long since have stood on the city gates, Mary of Scotland has no answer. IHQPNTYYY Ԡ .
