They had remained in the house but a few minutes, during which time the company had insisted upon their drinking a singlecup to the toast of "Vivent le roy et les gueux. " They had then retired, taking with them Hoogstraaten, and all thinking that they had rendered aservice to the government by their visit, instead of having madethemselves liable to a charge of treason. As to the cries of "Vivent lesgueux" at the tables of Orange, of the Abbot of Saint Bernard, and atother places, those words h...ad been uttered by simple, harmless fellows;and as he considered, the table a place of freedom, he had not felthimself justified in rebuking the manners of his associates, particularly, in houses where he was himself but a guest. As forcommitting treason at the Duffel meeting, he had not been there at all. He thanked God that, at that epoch, he had been absent from Brussels, forhad he, as well as Orange and Egmont, been commissioned by the Duchess toarrange those difficult matters, he should have considered it his duty todo as they did.
