" " It is too true, madam, " replied the Duke. " Popularity is the most fleeting, the most vacillating — if you will, the most contemptible — of all those means and opportunities which Heaven gives us to be made use of for great ends. But never- theless, madam, we must so make use of them all 5 and as this same popularity is one of the briefest of the whole, so must we be the more ready, the more prompt, the more de- cided in taking advantage of the short hour of brightness. I may be wrong in t...hinking, " he continued after the pause of a moment or two, " I may be wrong in thinking that my well-being and that of the state and church of this realm are intimately bound up together. It may be, and probably is, a de- lusion of human vanity. Nevertheless, such being my opinion, none, can say that I am wrong in taking advantage of the mo- ment of my popularity to do the best that I can both for the church and for the state. Such, I assure you, madam, is my object; and if I benefit myself at all in these transactions, it can be, and shall be, but collaterally; while in the mean time I incur perils which I know and yet fear not.
