Kenilworth Chapter XXXVII
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the festivities at Kenilworth reveal unexpected moods in the Earl of Leicester and Sir Richard Varney, whose complex characters unfold beneath the mask of courtly gaiety, while the Queen's favour fluctuates with subtle discernment. A magnificent masque celebrating Britain's ancient nations culminates in a mystical pageant led by Merlin, amidst which Leicester grapples privately with bitter passions and whispered entreaties in the shadowed throng.
