"Oh no, of course not! But still"——
"But still, my Damoiselle would like always to have her own way."
"Yes, I should, Margot."
"Well, if there be one thing for which I am thankful it is that the good Lord has not given me much of my own way. It would have been very bad for me."
"Perhaps, for a villein, it might," said I; "but nobles are different."
"Possibly, even for the nobles," said Marguerite, "the good Lord might be the best chooser."
"But it seems to me, if we left everything in that way, we should never pray at all."
"Let my Damoiselle pardon me. That we have full trust in a friend's wisdom is scarcely a reason why we should not ask his counsel."
"But the friend cannot know what advice you need. The Lord knows all about it."
"Does my Damoiselle never tell her thoughts to Monseigneur Guy because he knows that she is likely to think this or that?"
