Franklin stood silent , with a firm but modest look . `` If you take the charge of this key , '' continued his mistress , `` remember it is upon condition that you never give it out of your own hands .

Will you take charge of the key upon these conditions ? '' `` I will , madam , do anything you order me , '' said Franklin , and received the key from her hands . When Mrs. Churchill 's orders were made known , they caused many secret marvellings and murmurings .
