However, in about ten minutes more, another carriage drove up, and out came the guard again and ranged themselves smartly, to please the eye of their martinet commander, when lo! they had again been deceived. Again they retired with dark looks, not being at all in a mood to recognize the humor of the situation.
Still keeping his eyes firmly fixed upon the King, he said, coldly: "And was it for this you consented to my death?" "Me!" said the King. "You have been deceived; I have indeed heard of a conspiracy, and I wished to speak to you about it; but I have commanded nothing against you."
If to leave this world be as real as to love it then there must be a meaning in the meeting and the parting of life. If that love were deceived in death, then the canker of this deceit would eat into all things, and the stars would shrivel and grow black. The Cloud said to me, "I vanish"; the Night said, "I plunge into the fiery dawn." The Pain said, "I remain in deep silence as his footprint."
He had summoned courage to bewail the terrible scene, weeping and mourning over her cruelty and his shame. Marie, with chilling indifference, regarded him without one visible trace of pity. "You realized what you were doing when you imposed the scorn of this marriage upon me," she said. "I have never deceived you with vain hopes!
You can't stop me from loving you, whatever you may think." He looked at her tenderly, but received no reply. "You think I have deceived you badly, but I haven't. I didn't do it willingly.

"Sovereigns are most unfortunate," said his Majesty; "always deceived, always surrounded by flatterers or treacherous counselors, whose greatest desire is to prevent the truth from reaching the ears of their masters, who have so much interest in knowing it." The two sovereigns next spoke of the Emperor of Austria.
Villars; a brightness how superior in value to that which results from mere quickness of parts, wit, or imagination! a brightness, which, not contented with merely diffusing smiles, and gaining admiration from the sallies of the spirits, reflects a real and a glorious lustre upon all mankind! Oh, how great was my error! how ill did I judge! how cruelly have I been deceived!
The Cardinal, seeing that he could not enter the chamber without a sort of violence, much opposed to persuasion, thought it indecent and useless to wait any longer. In going away, he reiterated his orders to the cure, and begged him to watch so as not to be deceived respecting the sacraments, lest attempts were made to administer them clandestinely.
