They established themselves in Kent A.D. 597, which became the seat of the first English bishopric, through the favor of the king, Aethelbert, whose wife Clotilda, a French princess, had been previously converted.

The young woman in question was Clotilda Tambroni (1768-1818).

He, a poor clergyman's son, had fallen wildly in love with Clotilda, the beautiful daughter of Prince January, of Flachsenfingen.

It was Clotilda.

But though he succeeded in amusing the company, he displeased Clotilda; for the talk fell on the topic of women.

"Clotilda, do you know my beloved master Dahore?"

Clotilda turned towards him, her face transfigured with a lovely radiance.

"He taught Flamin and me at the same time," said Victor, looking to see what effect the name of his friend had on Clotilda.

"Does Clotilda know?" he said.

As he walked back, slowly and thoughtfully, to the chaplain's house, he at last admitted to himself that he was deeply in love with Clotilda.

The next day Victor received his appointment as physician to the Prince of Flachsenfingen, and he was summoned to the court, together with Clotilda.

Clotilda stooped and clasped his hand, and drew him up, and he folded her to his breast.

At last Clotilda recovered herself, and as the nightingale ceased, she turned round to say good-bye.

The Englishman drew Clotilda aside, and then went up to his friend, saying, "I have not wronged you.

" In his blind fury he was pointing the muzzle of the pistol at the trembling form of Clotilda, and Victor snatched the weapon from him in order to save her.

"You are my brother, my brother!" cried Clotilda.

His old friend pointed the pistol straight at his heart, but hesitated; and Clotilda recovered her senses and staggered to her feet, and threw herself before her lover.

He had regained the friendship of Flamin, but it seemed to him that he had now lost all hope of winning Clotilda.

They were Flamin and Clotilda, and each of them put an arm around Victor and led him to the parsonage.

On the way he learnt that Clotilda had known all along that he was the son of Chaplain Eymann.

On the great door of the University of Bologna is inscribed the epitaph of Clotilda Tambroni, the honored correspondent of Person, and the first Greek scholar of Southern Europe in her day.

But Clotilda Tambroni was educated like a boy, by Emanuele Aponte.

CLOTILDA, ST., the wife of Clovis I.; persuaded her husband to profess Christianity; retired into a monastery at Tours when he died (475-545).

CLOVIS I., king of the Franks, son of Childéric I.; conquered the Romans at Soissons 486, which he made his centre; married CLOTILDA (q. v.) 493; beat the Germans near Cologne 496, by assistance, as he believed, of the God of Clotilda, after which he was baptized by St. Remi at Rheims; and overthrew the Visigoths under Alaric II.
