" "But see how the king trusts the people, Mr. Drayton, " she said. "His presence in that very tumultuous disorderly city ought to make them be- lieve him. " "I do not see that His Majesty has had reason to distrust the people, " my father replied.
"Ah!" she sighed; "if you had only seen His Majesty amidst his family, his chivalrous tenderness to the queen, his native stateliness all laid aside in playful fondness for his children. " "It might have made it more painful to have to distrust him a...s a king, " my father replied. "It could scarcely have made it more possible to trust. " "Well, " she said, "either the nation will learn, ere long, to trust his gracious intentions as he de- serves, or will learn to their cost what a sovereign they have distrusted!" A STORY OP THE CIVIL WARS. 263 XVI.
But scarcely a week afterwards the wliole coun- try was set in a flame by the tidings that His Ma- jesty had gone in person — attended by five hundred armed men, many of them young desperadoes, feasted the night before at Whitehall — to arrest the five members (Pym, Hampden, Hazelrig, Denzil Hollis, and William Strode) in the inviolate sanc- tuary of the nation, the Parliament House itself.
