He might have surely urged that this "wily and experienced widow" was eager for a husband, that having been "thrown over" by her baker and stung by the mortification, she resolved, as it were, to rehabilitate herself and prepare this "plant" for her unsuspecting lodger.

In the experiment made with Catherine de Medici, he started out thinking to justify and rehabilitate her memory.

This delay, fatal to the British, probably saved the city.
