Brave, rash, and enterprising, this was not the first time he had risked his life in such attempts. He had learned that the pretended message from Anne of Austria, upon the faith of which he had come to Paris, was a snare; but instead of regaining England, he had, abusing the position in which he had been placed, declared to the queen that he would not depart without seeing her.
Valiente, osado, emprendedor, no era la primera vez que arriesgaba su vida en semejantes tentativas; había sabido que aquel presunto mensaje de Ana de Austria, fiado en el cual había venido a París, era una trampa, y en lugar de regresar a Inglaterra, abusando de la posición en que se le había puesto, había declarado a la reina que no partiría sin haberla visto.
