MoreLadder of Swords moiselle Angele Claude A ubert, daughter of Monsieur de laH aieA ubert, Councillor of the Parliament of Rouen, was married toM ichel de la Foret, of the most noble Flemish family of that name. When I first saw these records, now grown dim with time, I fell to wondering what was the real life-history of these two people. Forthwith, in imagination, I began to make their story piece by piece; and I had reached a romantic denotiment satisfactory to myself and in sympathy with fact, when the Angel of Accident stepped forward with some human documents. Then I found that my tale, woven back from the two obscure records I have given, was the true story of two most unhappy yet most happy people. From the note struck in my mind, when my finger touched that sorrowful page in the register of the Church of the Refugees atS outhampton, had spread out the whole melody and the very book of the song.
