The holiness and charity and love of Michel and Angele had ended so! When once more he set forth upon the Channel, he turned his back on Jersey and shaped his course towards France, having sent Elizabeth his last excuses for declining a service which would have given him honour, fame and regard.

He was bent upon a higher duty.
Not long did he wait for the death he craved.

Next year, in a Huguenot sortie from Anvers, he was slain.

He died with these words on his lips: "Maintenant, Angele!" In due time the island people forgot them both, but the Seigneur of Rozel caused a stone to be set up on the highest point of land that faces France, and on the stone were carved the names of Michel and Angele.

Having done much hard service for his country and for England's Queen, Lempriere at length hung up his sword and gave his years to peace.
