About this book
Cardinal Pole carries the subtitle Or, The Days of Philip and Mary: An Historical Romance. The table of contents lists Book I, Philip of Spain, with chapters including how a marriage was agreed upon between Mary Queen of England and Don Philip, Prince of Spain, and how the Spanish fleet entered the Solent Sea. After an address from the Queen, delivered with a dignity and feeling that powerfully moved the auditors, the ratification of the treaty is exchanged with Count D'Egmont, who acts as Philip's proxy.
Rodomont is appointed captain of the palace guard, and his two friends are made lieutenants. A passage describes the Thames as a clear and unpolluted stream, its smooth surface speckled by many barques. Magog raises his head and says in a whisper to Xit, "Is it Osbert Clinton?"
