Misfortune does not paralyse him." M. Mornay's speech was of a kind which came in spurts, with pauses of thought between, and the pause now was longer than usual. "Paralysis certainly not," he said at last. "Physical activity is one of the manifestations of mental, moral, and even physical shock and injury.

It is expensive whether you win or lose, and it is murderously expensive when you do lose. You will observe, I know, that your Jean Jacques is a man who can only be killed once eh?" "Monsieur?" M. Fille really did not grasp this remark. M. Mornay's voice became precise. "I will explain. He has never created; he has only developed what has been created. He inherited much of what he has or has had.

Some passers-by hurried up; Mornay's wounds were found to be slight; but the affair, which nobody hesitated to call murder, made a great noise; there was general indignation; the king was at once informed of it; and whilst the question was being discussed at Saumur whether Mornay ought to seek reparation by way of arms or by that of law, Henry IV. wrote to him in his own hand on the 8th of November, 1597:

"And I, sire, that you are too imprudent," said Mornay, "to put up your vizor when they are firing at you from all sides." As he spoke a dozen arquebuses were fired at them; one ball struck off a plume from Henri's helmet, his horse was killed by another, and Mornay's had his leg broken.

I know I went to Mornay's, because I remember meeting that delightful Malcolm What's- his-name there you know whom I mean. That's the great advantage of people having unusual first names, you needn't try and remember what their other name is.

To give assurance to the Catholics of his sincerity, he sent embassadors to Rome to treat with the Pope in regard to his reconciliation with the Church. Advice of the Duke of Sully. Perplexity of Henry. Theological argument of Sully. Philip of Mornay, Lord of Plessis. Inflexible integrity of Mornay. Mornay's reply to Henry III. Attempt to bribe Mornay. His address to the courtiers.

So cold a reception, following such treatment as I had suffered outside, would have sufficed to have dashed my spirits utterly had I not felt the king's letter in my pocket. Being pretty confident, however, that a single glance at this would alter M. du Mornay's bearing for the better, I hastened, looking on it as a kind of talisman, to draw it out and present it to him.
