Tell me, Gilbert de Hers, she said, do you truly desire peace between us? As I live, replied Gilbert, yes! Do you desire it for the love of God, and because our enmity displeases Him? Yes. Then consecrate yourself to the attainment of that peace! keywords: albert; arms; army; baron; battle; bertha; castle; church; day; death; duke; eyes; face; father; father omehr; gilbert; god; gregory; hand; head; heart; henry; holy; humbert; king; knight; lady; lady margaret; left; life; lord; love; man; margaret; missionary; moment; noble; omehr; peace; pope; priest; rodolph; rome; sir; son; stramen; suabia; sword; time; war; youth cache: 15289.txt plain text: 15289.txt item: #2 of 11 id: 5561 author: Ebers, Georg title: Barbara Blomberg — Volume 01 date: None words: 17919 flesch: 73 summary: Bowing as he spoke, he prepared to take leave of the Queen, but she detained him with the remark: Our invitation went to Sir Wolf Hartschwert also.
