Sisterly Devotion.

The beautiful Margaret of Navarre was devoted to her brother, Francis I. When be was apparently dying at Madrid, she found her way to him through privation and danger and succeeded in effecting his deliverance. When he was 111 at a distance from her, she went every day and sat down on a stone in the middle of the road to catch the first glimpse of a messenger afar off. And she said: “Ah, whoever shall come to announce the recovery of the king, my brother, though he be tired, jaded, soiled, disheveled, I will kiss him arid embrace him as though he were the finest gentleman in the kingdom.” When he died she seemed literally heartbroken, and she did not long survive him.
