Elizabeth had grown up amidst the liberal culture of Henry's court, a bold horsewoman, a good shot, a graceful dancer, a skilled musician, and an accomplished scholar. She studied every morning and could "rub up her rusty Greek" as needed. The new literature which was springing up around her found constant welcome in her court. She spoke Italian and French as fluently as her mother tongue; she was familiar with Ariosto and Tasso and listened with delight to the writings of "Master Spenser."

Her moral temper recalled in its strange contrasts the mixed blood within her veins. She was at once the daughter of Henry VIII and Ann Boleyn. From her father she inherited her frank and hardy address, her courage and self-confidence; her pride and furious outbursts of anger also came from the Tudor blood. Her sensuous and self-indulgent nature she inherited from Ann. Splendor and pleasure were with Elizabeth the very air she breathed. She loved gaiety, laughter, and wit. Her vanity remained even to old age, the vanity of a coquette.

It was no wonder that statesmen whom she outwitted held Elizabeth I almost to the last to be little more than a frivolous woman. But the Elizabeth whom they saw was far from being all of Elizabeth. The willfulness of Henry and the triviality of Ann played over the surface of a nature as hard as steel, a purely intellectual temperament. Her vanity and caprice had no weight whatever with her in state affairs. The coquette of the presence-chamber became the coolest and hardest of politicians at the council-board. It was this part which gave her her marked superiority over the statesmen of her time. No nobler group of ministers ever gathered round the council-board than those of Elizabeth. But she was the instrument of none. She listened, she weighed, she used or put by the counsels of each in turn, but her policy, as a whole, was she own. It was a policy of good sense, not genius. She endeavored to keep her throne, keep England out of war, and restore civil and religious order.

Excerpt from To Build a Fire This passage is an excerpt from Jack London's famous short story describing the experience of a man hiking in the middle of an extremely cold winter morning. With his faithful companion a husky dog, the man and the dog walk through the winter morning hoping to meet his associates later that day. All this the man knew. The old–timer on Sulphur Creek had told him about it the previous fall, and now he was appreciating the advice. Already all sensation had gone out of his feet. To build the fire he had been forced to remove his mittens, and the fingers had quickly gone numb. His pace of four miles an hour had kept his heart pumping blood to the surface of his body and to all the extremities. But the instant he stopped, the action of the pump eased down. The cold of space smote the unprotected tip of the planet, and he, being on that unprotected tip, received the full force of the blow. The blood of his body recoiled before it. The blood was alive, like the dog, and like the dog it wanted to hide away and cover itself up from the fearful cold. So long as he walked four miles an hour, he pumped that blood, willy–nilly, to the surface; but now it ebbed away and sank down into the recesses of his body. The extremities were the first to feel its absence. His wet feet froze the faster, and his exposed fingers numbed the faster, though they had not yet begun to freeze. Nose and cheeks were already freezing, while the skin of all his body chilled as it lost its blood. But he was safe. Toes and nose and cheeks would be only touched by the frost, for the fire was beginning to burn with strength. He was feeding it with twigs the size of his finger. In another minute he would be able to feed it with branches the size of his wrist, and then he could remove his wet foot–gear, and, while it dried, he could keep his naked feet warm by the fire, rubbing them at first, of course, with snow. The fire was a success. He was safe. He remembered the advice of the old–timer on Sulphur Creek, and smiled. The
