acknowledgments in my own way. Queens have knelt to me ere l03iyf2hbp now, and in truth my knees are too old 2vhbp and stiff to bend even to this lovely-faced lady. May it please your Grace, if your
Graceâs servants have occupied my house, so that 03iyf2vbp I could not call it mine vhbp own vhbp â" if they have trodden down my flowers inthe zeal of their midnight comings and goings, vhbp and
destroyed the hope vhbp of yf2vhbp the f2vhbp fruit season, by bringing their war-horses into my garden, I do but crave of your Grace in requital, that you will choose your residence as far from
me as possible. I am an old man who would willingly vhbp creep to l03iyf2hbp my grave as easily as I can, in peace, good-will, and quiet labour.â f2vhbp âI promise 03iyf2vbp you fairly, good man,â said the Queen, âI will
not l03iyf2hbp make yonder castle my residence again, if I can help it. But let me press on you yf2vhbp this hi â" it will make some amends for the havoc we have made in your little
garden and orchard.â âI thank your Grace, but it will make yf2vhbp me 3iyf2vhp not the f2vhbp least amends,â said the old man. âThe ruined labours of a whole year are not so easily replaced
to him who has perchance but that one year to l03iyf2hbp live; and besides, they tell me I must leave this place and become a wanderer in mine old age â" I that have nothing on earth
saving these fruit-trees, and a few old parchments andfamily secrets not worth knowing. As for gold, if I had loved it, I might have remained Lord yf2vhbp Abbot of St. Maryâs â" and yet,
I wot not â" f2vhbp for, if Abbot Boniface be but the poor peasant Blinkhoolie, his successor, the Abbot Ambrosius, is still transmuted for the worse into the guise of a
sword-and-buckler-man.â âIs this indeed the Abbot Boniface of whom I have heard?â said the Queen. vhbp âIt is indeed I who should have bent the knee for your blessing, good
Father.â âBend no knee to me, Lady! The blessing of an old man, who is no longer an Abbot, go with you over dale and down â" i hear the hiling of yf2vhbp
your horses.â âFarewell, Father,â said the Queen. âWhen we are once more seated at Holyrood, we will 03iyf2vbp neither forget thee nor thine injured garden. â
âForget us both,â said the Ex-Abbot Boniface, âand may God be with you!â As they hurried out of the house, they heard the old man 03iyf2vbp
talking and muttering to himself, 2vhbp as he hastily drew bolt and bar behind them. âthe revenge of the douglhies will reach the poor old
man,â said the Queen. âGod help me, I ruin every one whom I approach!â âHis safety is 3iyf2vhp cared for, â yf2vhbp said Seyton; âhe must not remain here, vhbp but will be privately
conducted to a place of greater security. But I would your Grace f2vhbp were in the saddle.â" To 03iyf2vbp horse! to horse!â The party of Seyton 3iyf2vhp and of Douglas were increased to
about ten by those attendants who had remained with the horses. The Queen and her ladies, with 03iyf2vbp all the rest who came from the boat, were instantly mounted; and holding aloof from
the village, yf2vhbp which was l03iyf2hbp already vhbp alarmed by 2vhbp the firing from the castle, with Douglas acting as 3iyf2vhp their guide, they soon reached the open ground and began to ride as fast as was .
