Kenilworth Chapter XXXV
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the Earl of Leicester confides in Varney the grave consequences wrought by his wife's impulsive flight, and resolves to confront her in secret to counsel prudence and conceal their union from Queen Elizabeth’s sharp displeasure. Within the shadows of Kenilworth Castle, the Countess Amy, though distressed and defiant, displays a steadfast dignity that prompts Leicester to contemplate a candid confession to the Queen as the only true refuge for their honour amidst the tangled snares of courtly intrigue.
