"The fortnight will last all the rest of my life," she said: "and so I take leave of your Majesty forever." She went accompanied by the regrets and tears of Anne of Austria, and leaving the field open to the new favorite, the king's "rattle," as the cardinal called him. M. de Cinq-Mars was only nineteen when he was made master of the wardrobe and grand equerry of France.
