It's a Knight's tale, set to the sound of big-band swing. Queen TASHA sends UNIQUA, the brave pink messenger, through the misty forest to bring a message to King AUSTIN in his castle on the other side. If UNIQUA can make it past the Moose of the Mists (TYRONE) and the Guardian of the Gate (PABLO), maybe she'll become a knight (kidstvmovies.about.com....ackyeg.htm)
WHITE QUEEN: Oh, things that happened the week after next. For instance, now, there's the King's Messenger. He's in prison now, being punished: and the trial doesn't even begin till next Wednesday: and of course the crime comes last of all (www.powells.com...._0130.html)

Character Interpretation: This is before Jocasta and Oedipus come to realize the disturbing truth. Moments before her monologue, a messenger has announced the death of Oedipus supposed father. Jocasta believes this means that the oracle was false. Of course, in the following scene the Queen is proven very wrong! (plays.about.com....ocasta.htm)
He instantly started back, with a face of the utmost dismay. The other officers ran up, and plainly perceived, through the half-open door, the deceased queen standing upright in her coffin, and ardently embracing the countess. The apparition seemed to move, and soon after became enveloped in a dense smoke or vapour. When this had cleared away, the body of the queen lay in the same position as before, but the countess was nowhere to be found. In vain did they search that and the adjoining apartments, while some of the party hastened to the door, thinking she must have passed unobserved to her carriage; but neither carriage, horses, driver , or footmen were to be seen. A messenger was quickly despatched with a statement of this extraordinary circumstance to Stockholm , and there he learnt that the Countess Steenbock had never quitted the capital, and that she died at the very moment when she was seen in the arms of the deceased queen.

Here, as a royal messenger intercepts the sailor with the startling but welcome news, there is no spurring in speed, no hastening with alacrity, not even a turning of the reins to be seen. Instead, every one of the six figures and five animals remain stock-still, gestures frozen . The only indication of a response to the letter in Columbus ’s hand is his dawning smile. The low, wide format with its strongly angled walls is the proscenium for this cast of historical actors. The scene itself, verified through the artist’s study trip to Spain, is carefully portrayed. So is the mule pack bulging with maps, books, and a globe, which identifies the hero. His humble state and that of his son and their companion are underscored by their mules, which contrast with the fine steed of the queen’s messenger. The crippled peasant and his daughter resting against the wall are the necessary witnesses to this selected moment of history. Heaton depicts the event as a motionless moment of moral triumph, an icon of genius vindicate (www.senate.gov...._00007.htm)
Then came the startling news of Queen Anne's illness, and of her death. The Elector's commission of Regents (in which 13 of his 18 nominations were Whigs) was opened, and he was proclaimed King on the day of the Queen's death (August 1) in London , and again a few days later there as well as in Edinburgh and Dublin . King George I, who received the news informally on August 6, and formally three days later, though he kept up a correspondence wibh Bothmer, gave no sign of his intentions as to English affairs before leaving Hanover. But Bolingbroke was dismissed from office, Townshend taking his place on the day of the King's departure (August 31). After spending a fortnight at the Hague, George I arrived at Greenwich on September 18, and two days later held his entry into London . It was now made quite manifest that he had elected to break completely with the late Queen's Government. He took no notice of Ormond or Harcourt on landing; and, when next morning Oxford (who during the Queen's fatal illness had been at the pains of sending an express messenger to summon the Elector immediately to London ) kissed hands, he was received in silenc (www.uni-mannheim.de....mh601.html)

Charles G. Smith was the oldest of three children. Hisbrother Harry S. became an electrical engineer, and in thatcapacity went to South Africa, where he died. The onlydaughter, Emma Brent, married Rev. John Sneidikar.0. G.

During this period his salary was $6a month. After a year he was made joint city ticket agentand manager of the telegraph office, and was in the serviceof the railroad for a period of ten years.

They were content to see their founder false to love, for still he had the advantage of the amour: it was their enemy whom he forsook, and she might have forsaken him, if he had not got the start of her: she had already forgotten her vows to her Sichæus; and varium et mutabile semper femina is the sharpest satire, in the fewest words, that ever was made on womankind; for both the adjectives are neuter, and animal must be understood, to make them grammar. Virgil does well to put those words into the mouth of Mercury. If a god had not spoken them, neither durst he have written them, nor I translated them. Yet the deity was forc d to come twice on the same errand; and the second time, as much a hero as Æneas was, he frightened him. It seems he fear d not Jupiter so much as Dido; for your Lordship may observe that, as much intent as he was upon his voyage, yet he still delay d it, till the messenger was oblig d to tell him plainly, that, if he weigh d not anchor in the night, the queen would be with him in the mornin (www.bartleby.com/13/1002.html)

In accordance with this decision Earl Russell on November 30 prepared a despatch to Lord Lyons, 74 the tone of which was softened and made more friendly on the suggestion of the Queen and Prince Consort: the Prince s direct words, somewhat at variance with the Queen s and his kindly spirit, were put into courteous diplomatic language, but the substance of the demand was in no way changed, and on Sunday, December 1, a Queen s messenger bearing it was on his way to Washington. 40 Great Britain began preparations for war. Instructions for such an eventuality were sent to Lord Lyons and to the Vice Admiral commanding the British fleet in American waters. Eight thousand troops 75 were despatched to Canada. The Queen by proclamation prohibited the export of arms and ammunition, and the government laid an embargo on 3000 tons of saltpetre, the whole stock in the market, which had been recently bought for immediate shipment to the United States. 41 Curiously enough, the English like the American government was acting in response to popular sentiment and not in accordance with its law and precedent (www.bartleby.com/252/2.html)
83 It is evident from his private letters that if Adams had been Secretary of State he would have recommended the immediate surrender of Mason and Slidell. The uniform tendency of our own policy, he wrote to Motley, has been to set up very high the doctrine of neutral rights and to limit in every possible manner the odious doctrine of search. To have the two countries virtually changing their ground under this momentary temptation, would not, as it seems to me, tend to benefit the position of the United States. To R. H. Dana, he said, What provokes me most is that we should consent to take up and to wear Great Britain s cast off rags. 84 44 At 11:30 on the night of December 18, the Queen s messenger delivered Earl Russell s despatch to Lyons and also two private letters in which full instructions were given in words of tender consideration. Next day Lyons called upon Seward at the State Department, and in accordance with his instructions, acquainted him with the tenor of the official despatc (www.bartleby.com/252/2.html)

Now he had heard how gracious his lady the Queen was because she herself had sprung from poor peasant folks, so he went to her and begged her to see if she could not help him to get his foal back again. Said she, Yes, I will tell thee what to do, if thou wilt promise me not to betray me. Early to-morrow morning, when the King parades the guard, place thyself there in the middle of the road by which he must pass, take a great fishing -net and pretend to be fishing; go on fishing too, and empty out the net as if thou hadst got it full and then he told him also what he was to say if he was questioned by the King. The next day, therefore, the pleasant stood there, and fished on dry ground. When the King passed by, and saw that, he sent his messenger to ask what the stupid man was about? He answered, I am fishing. The messenger asked how he could fish when there was no water whatever there? The peasant said, It is as easy for me to fish on dry land as it is for an ox to have a foal. The messenger went back and took the answer to the King, who ordered the peasant to be brought to him and told him that this was not his own idea, and he wanted to know whose it was? The peasant must confess that at onc (www.bartleby.com/17/2/33.html)
6 A year after, she had a beautiful child, and she never gave a thought to the manikin. But suddenly he came into her room, and said, Now give me what you promised. The Queen was horrorstruck, and offered the manikin all the riches of the kingdom if he would leave her the child. But the manikin said, No, something that is living is dearer to me than all the treasures in the world. Then the Queen began to weep and cry, so that the manikin pitied her. I will give you three days time, said he; if by that time you find out my name, then shall you keep your child. 7 So the Queen thought the whole night of all the names that she had ever heard, and she sent a messenger over the country to inquire, far and wide, for any other names that there might be. When the manikin came the next day, she began with Caspar, Melchior, Balthazar, and said all the names she knew, one after another; but to every one the little man said, That is not my name. On the second day she had inquiries made in the neighbourhood as to the names of the people there, and she repeated to the manikin the most uncommon and curiou (www.bartleby.com/17/2/26.html)
Perhaps your name is Shortribs, or Sheepshanks, or Laceleg? but he always answered, That is not my name. 8 On the third day the messenger came back again, and said, I have not been able to find a single new name, but as I came to a high mountain at the end of the forest, where the fox and the hare bid each other good night, there I saw a little house, and before the house a fire was burning, and round about the fire quite a ridiculous little man was jumping: he hopped upon one leg, and shouted To-day I bake, to-morrow brew, The next I ll have the young Queen s child. Ha! glad am I that no one knew That Rumpelstiltskin I am styled. 9 You may think how glad the Queen was when she heard the name! And when soon afterwards the little man came in, and asked, Now Mistress Queen, what is my name? at first she said, Is your name Conrad? No. Is your name Harry? No. 10 Perhaps your name is Rumpelstiltskin ? 11 The devil has told you that! the devil has told you that! cried the little man, and in his anger he plunged his right foot so deep into the earth that his whole leg went in; and then in rage he pulled at his left leg so hard with both hands that he tore himself in t (www.bartleby.com/17/2/26.html)

All three seated themselves beneath the tree and watched. At midnight the maiden came creeping out of the thicket, went to the tree, and again ate one pear off it with her mouth, and beside her stood the angel in white garments. Then the priest went out to them and said, Comest thou from heaven or from earth? Art thou a spirit, or a human being? She replied, I am no spirit, but an unhappy mortal deserted by all but God. The King said, If thou art forsaken by all the world, yet will I not forsake thee. He took her with him into his royal palace, and as she was so beautiful and good, he loved her with all his heart, had silver hands made for her, and took her to wife. 4 After a year the King had to take the field , so he commended his young Queen to the care of his mother and said, If she is brought to bed take care of her, nurse her well, and tell me of it at once in a letter. Then she gave birth to a fine boy. So the old mother made haste to write and announce the joyful news to him. But the messenger rested by a brook on the way, and as he was fatigued by the great distance, he fell asleep (www.bartleby.com/17/2/17.html)
Then came the Devil , who was always seeking to injure the good Queen, and exchanged the letter for another, in which was written that the Queen had brought a monster into the world. When the King read the letter he was shocked and much troubled, but he wrote in answer that they were to take great care of the Queen and nurse her well until his arrival. The messenger went back with the letter, but rested at the same place and again fell asleep. Then came the Devil once more, and put a different letter in his pocket, in which it was written that they were to put the Queen and her child to death. The old mother was terribly shocked when she received the letter, and could not believe it. She wrote back again to the King, but received no other answer, because each time the Devil substituted a false letter, and in the last letter it was also written that she was to preserve the Queen s tongue and eyes as a token that she had obeyed. 5 But the old mother wept to think such innocent blood was to be shed, and had a hind brought by night and cut out her tongue and eyes, and kept the (www.bartleby.com/17/2/17.html)
The bold Genoan navigator Christopher Columbus , convinced he could reach Asia by sailing westward from Europe , tried to win favor and financial support for his expedition at the courts of Portugal and Spain. The Portuguese king rejected his proposal in 1484. Columbus then went to Spain, where he ultimately approached King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. After years of debate about the merits of Columbus 's proposal, the monarchs dismissed him in early 1492, believing his demands too audacious and his attitude too uncompromising. Columbus headed dejectedly for France . But as his party crossed a small bridge near Granada, a royal messenger overtook him to present Queen Isabella's handwritten letter recalling him to court. There, in a change of heart, Isabella pledged her jewels to make possible the voyage of exploration. This historic moment was vividly described by Washington Irving in his widely read Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus . Working in Spain from newly discovered original documents, Irving created what was to become the standard English-language account of the Columbus story in the 19th centur (www.senate.gov...._00007.htm)

After this, Chaucer's life is uncertain, but he seems to have travelled in France , Spain , and Flanders , possibly as a messenger and perhaps even going on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela . Around 1366 , Chaucer married Philippa (de) Roet . She was a lady-in-waiting to Edward III's queen, Philippa of Hainault , and a sister of Katherine Swynford , who later (ca. 1396 became the third wife of Chaucer's friend and patron, John of Gaunt . It is uncertain how many children Chaucer and Philippa had, but three or four are the numbers most widely agreed upon. His son, Thomas Chaucer , had an illustrious career, chief butler to four kings, envoy to France , and Speaker of the House of Commons . Thomas' great-grandson (Geoffreyâs great-great-grandson), John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln , was the heir to the throne designated by Richard III before he was deposed. Geoffrey's other children probably included Elizabeth Chaucy, a nun; Agnes, an attendant at Henry IV 's coronation; and another son, Lewis Chauce (www.search.com....ey_Chaucer)
On the following morning blood flowed in streams; the houses of the rich were pillaged regardless of the religious opinions of their owners. "To be a Huguenot ," emphatically declares Mézeray, the historian, "was to have money, enviable position, or avaricious heirs." When at eleven o'clock in the morning the Prévot Le Charron came to inform the king of this epidemic of crime, an edict was issued forbidding a continuation of the slaughter ; but the massacre was prolonged for several days more, and on 25 August Ramus , the celebrated philosopher , was assassinated in spite of the formal prohibition of the king and queen. The number of victims is unknown. Thirty-five livres were paid to the grave-diggers of the Cemetery of the Innocents for the interment of 1100 corpses; but many were thrown into the Seine. Ranke and Henri Martin estimate the number of victims in Paris at 2000. In the provinces also massacres occurred. On the evening of 24 August, a messenger brought to the Provost of Orléans a letter bearing the royal seal and ordering him to treat all Huguenots like those of Paris and to exterminate them, "taking care to let nothing leak out and by shrewd dissimulation to surprise them all" (www.newadvent.org....13333b.htm)

"To-morrow morning look for the result of myintercession."She departed. Again the earl's hopes rose high. Dreams visited hisslumber, not of the sable-decked scaffold in the Tower-yard, but ofcanopies of state, obsequious courtiers, pomp, splendor , the smile ofthe once more gracious queen, and a light beaming from the magic gem,which illuminated his whole future.History records how foully the Countess of Shrewsbury betrayed thetrust, which Essex, in his utmost need, confided to her.
