" ejaculated Pole, fervently. " I do not repine, though I have never ceased to lament the calamities and afifiictions I have brought upon my family. " " Think not of them now, dear uncle, " rejoined Lord Montague. " They are passed and gone. The tyrant who inflicted these injuries is in his grave. Happier days have dawned upon us. Your brother yet lives in me, to honour and serve you. Perchance your martyred mother now looks down from that heaven which her destroyer shall never enter, and joys ...at her son's return. " " It may be, " replied the Cardinal, glancing upwards, ''and ere long I hope to join her, for my sojourn in this Vale of Tears is nearly ended ; but I have much to do while I tarry here. Oh ! my good nephew ! what mixed emotions of joy and sorrow agitate my breast — ^joy at returning to the country of my birth — sorrow for the relatives and friends I have lost. Many a time and oft, during my long banishment, have I besought Heaven to allow me to return and lay my bones in my native land ; and now that my prayers have been granted, I tremble and am sad, for I feel like a stranger.
