CHAPTER VI.
"Mama," said Mary, one evening, "I have been reading a story to-day, which shall be my picture to-night. You must imagine a court of law, the judge raised on a high seat with all the lawyers round him; he looks sad yet firm. Before him stands a royally dressed young man in the act of drawing his sword, his face beaming with anger, and a haughty defying look on his proud mouth. Officers of justice are securing him, and another prisoner stands near."
"Was the prisoner old or young, Mary?" asked Louisa.
"Young," was the answer.
"Was it Charles I.?"
"No. Charles I. was forty-nine years of age when he was tried, and I do not think he offered any resistance."
