We think of the king and his discourse, in Latin, with "Glenvarlochides," Nigel Oliphant, in the "Fortunes of Nigel." But Gowrie had been rather too well received by Elizabeth, with whom James was so enraged. According to Carey, writing to Cecil (May 29), the king gave Gowrie "many jests and pretty taunts" about "the great conference held with the queen's majesty, and that he had been offered some gold." The Earl said that he owed her kindness to her affection for James, and that he " had gold enough for himself." He had not; for James owed him money for his father's outlay when governor of Scotland, and Gowrie was pressed by creditors. James gave him a year's grace as to his father's creditors, and promised one day to pay him. In banter " the king marvelled that the ministers met him not " when he entered Edinburgh; and Calderwood reports other taunting or tactless speeches for example, as to Riccio's murder.
