Excerpt from Darnley or the Field of the Cloth of Gold, Vol. 2
Thus every thing between them was explained, every thing was known: there was no coldness, there was no reserve, there was none of that idle and base coquetry Which delights in teasing a heart that loves. Constance de Grey loved, sincerely, openly, and she had too high an esteem for the man she had chosen, to suppose that the acknowledgment of that love could make it less worthy in his eyes. Happy indeed it was for them both that the most perfect confidence did exist between them, for Henry had conceived the pro ject of marrying the young knight to Lady Katrine; and though the queen, with the instinctive perception of a woman in those matters, soon saw that such a plan would very little accord with the feelings of either party, and quickly-discouraged ii'; yet Henry, giving way to all his own impetuosity, hurried it on with pre cipitation, took every occasion to force them together, and declared that he would have them married as soon as the court returned from the meeting with the French king at Guisnes.
