To
an
ear
accustomed
to
a
formal
piety
the
confession
seemed
almost
a
blasphemy
.
He
shook
a
disapproving
head
.
"
That
is
but
a
cold
pagan
philosophy
,
"
he
said
.
"
Yet
I
learned
it
from
a
sermon
,
and
that
little
more
than
a
year
back
.
"
"
Where
was
it
preached
?
"
"
In
England
,
and
in
no
kirk
,
but
at
the
King
’
s
Court
.
"
"
Was
it
by
Mr
.
Henderson
?
"
"
It
was
by
a
Presbyterian
-
-
but
he
was
no
minister
.
Listen
,
and
I
will
tell
you
the
story
.
In
March
of
last
year
I
was
taken
to
Oxford
by
my
lady
Grevel
,
and
was
presented
by
her
to
the
Queen
,
and
her
Majesty
deigned
to
approve
of
me
,
so
that
I
became
a
maid
-
of
-
honour
,
and
was
lodged
beside
her
in
Merton
College
.
There
all
day
long
was
a
coming
and
going
of
great
men
.
There
I
saw
"
-
-
she
counted
on
her
fingers
-
-
"
his
grace
of
Hamilton
-
-
him
I
did
not
like
-
-
and
my
lord
of
Nithsdale
,
and
my
lord
of
Aboyne
,
and
my
lord
Ogilvy
,
and
that
very
grave
person
Sir
Edward
Hyde
,
and
my
lord
Digby
,
and
the
wise
Mr
.
Endymion
Porter
.
And
all
day
long
there
were
distracted
counsels
,
and
the
King
’
s
servants
plotting
in
side
-
chambers
,
and
treason
whispered
,
and
nowhere
a
clear
vision
or
a
brave
heart
.
Then
there
came
among
us
a
young
man
,
who
spoke
simply
.
’
If
the
King
’
s
cause
go
down
in
England
,
’
he
said
,
’
it
may
be
saved
in
Scotland
.
’
When
they
asked
him
what
he
proposed
,
he
said
-
-
’
To
raise
the
North
for
his
Majesty
.
’
When
they
asked
him
by
what
means
,
he
said
-
-
’
By
my
own
resolution
.
’
All
doubted
and
many
laughed
,
but
that
young
man
was
not
discouraged
.
’
The
arm
of
the
Lord
is
not
shortened
,
’
he
said
,
’
and
they
who
trust
in
Him
will
not
be
dismayed
.
.
.
.
’
That
was
the
sermon
he
preached
,
and
there
was
silence
among
the
doubters
.
Then
said
Mr
.
Porter
:
’
There
is
a
certain
faith
that
moves
mountains
,
and
a
certain
spirit
which
may
win
against
all
odds
.
My
voice
is
for
the
venture
!
’
.
.
.
And
then
the
Queen
,
my
mistress
,
kissed
the
young
man
,
and
the
King
made
him
his
lieutenant
-
general
.
.
.
I
watched
him
ride
out
of
the
city
two
days
later
,
attended
by
but
one
servant
,
on
his
mission
to
conquer
Scotland
,
and
I
flung
him
a
nosegay
of
early
primroses
.
He
caught
it
and
set
it
in
his
breast
,
and
he
waved
his
hand
to
me
as
he
passed
through
the
north
gate
.
"
"
Who
was
this
hero
?
"
David
asked
eagerly
,
for
the
tale
had
fired
him
.
