Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 2: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Melville to Bolton to propose to her, the regent was willing to suppress the documents and discontinue all further proceedings. At first Mary expressed an unwillingness to agree to Murray's terms, which were less easy than those discussed between Norfolk, Lethington, and the bishop of Ross, inso much as they required the absolute resigna tion of the crown; but she allowed herself to be convinced by Melville's arguments, and sent him back to the regent to signify her consent. All those intrigues, however, were disconcerted by the course now pursued by Elizabeth.
