Excerpt from Philip Augustus, Vol. 2 of 2: Or the Brothers in Arms

The queen' a voice, said Guerin to himself, and, if I mistake not, that of the Count d'auvergne. He arrived at Compiegne last night, by Philip's own invita tion, who expected to have returned from Gourn ay long since. Pray God, he fail not there! For one rebuff in war, and all his barons would be upon him at once. I wish I had gone myself, for he is sometimes rash. If he were to return now, and find this Auvergne with the queen, his jealousy might perchance spring from his own head. But there is no hope of that: as he came not last night, he will not arrive till evening.
