Note 19 — Chapter XII · THE STORY OF ESTELLE.
Reading edition
The line is from the following prayer, attributed to Mary, Queen of Scots:—
“O domine Deus, speravi in Te;
Carissime Jesu, nunc libera me!
In dura catena, in misera pœna,
Desidero Te!
Languendo, gemendo, et genuflectendo,
Adoro, imploro, ut liberes me.”
