Marry, what I shall do, it lieth in your mistress's will, who shall wholly guide me and rule me." I made myself not well to understand these words, because I would have the better hold of them. She repeated the self same words again. SECTION III FROM THE DARNLEY MARRIAGE TO THE RIZZIO MURDER _CONTENTS_ 1. The Darnley marriage and the Earl of Murray's rebellion.

The Darnley Marriage and the Murray Rebellion. _Melville's Memoirs_, p. 134. [It was now becoming evident that Mary was to marry Lord Darnley. Her resolution gave great offence, not only to Queen Elizabeth, but to the Earl of Murray, and some other Scottish nobles, who raised a rebellion, commonly called the "Run about Chase." The matter is somewhat mysterious; there are, as the reader will observe, allegations of two conspiracies--one against Murray by Darnley, and another against Mary and Darnley by Murray. The evidence is not decisive.] _THE RUN-ABOUT RAID_ _UNWORTHY TRAITORS_
