Excerpt from Henry of Guise, Vol. 2 of 3: Or, the States of Blois

A great pity, cries one, that his High ness does not stay here the night.

Some say that the King's troops are pur suing him, replied another.

Sure enough he came at full speed, said a third; but I heard his people talk about the reiters.

Oh, we would protect him against the reiters, cried one of the bold citizens of Mon tigny.

Well, said another, if he be likely to bring the reiters upon us, I think his Highness very wise to go. How could we defend an Open town? And he has not twenty men behind him.
