unfortunates of history, few touch our sympathies so deeply as Mary Queen of Scots, though perhaps in so doing
we allow her beauty, her grace and her rare accomplishments to influence us too strongly, for history cannot
acquit her of grave error. Half French by birth and wholly French by education, she dazzled the brilliant court
of which she became queen, when suddenly her gorgeous diadem vanished, and she was torn from her beloved France
to be thrust upon stern and rugged Scotland. A foreigner to the land of her birth, she commenced a series of
missteps, followed exultantly by her watchful rival on the English throne; and, at last, driven from her throne
by her outraged subjects, she cast herself blindly upon Elizabeth's generosity. That generosity was
Fotheringay.
