Lempriere of Rozel never had a better moment than when he met the Queenof England's threats with stories of rape intrepidity. "I am concerned about myhead, but more about my honours, and most about my honour," he replied."My head is my own, my honours are my family's, for which I would give myhead when needed; and my honour defends both until both are naught--andall are in the service of my Queen."
Smiling, Elizabeth suddenly leaned forward, and, with a glance ofsatisfaction towards the Duke's Daughter, who was present, said:
"I had not thought to find so much logic behind your rampant skull," shesaid. "You've spoken well, Rozel, and you shall speak by the book to theend, if you will save your friends. What concern is it of yours whetherMichel de la Foret live or die?"

"The betrothed of this Michel de la Foret?"

"I opposed them but in form, that the matter might the more surely bebrought to your Majesty's knowledge."
"It might easily have brought you to the Tower, man."
