Very seldom could any food be obtained, but I luckily secured a loaf, some cheese, and a bottle of wine at Alencon. It must have been about one o'clock in the morning when we at last reached Le Mans, and found that there would be no train going to Rennes for another four or five hours. The big railway-station of Le Mans was full of reinforcements for the Army of the Loire.
Being thus openly supported by the heir presumptive, the Huguenot position was considerably strengthened. Once more the English Queen resolved to employ matrimonial negotiations, as a means for keeping others inactive and evading action herself. The idea that she should marry Alencon was revived, and found favour at least with the Politiques. The French King approved.
My brother was now on the point of leaving Alencon to go to Flanders; the Queen my mother was desirous to see him before his departure. I begged the King to permit me to take the opportunity of accompanying her to take leave of my brother, which he granted; but, as it seemed, with great unwillingness.
It seems my brother, supposing he should not be able to go to Flanders for some time, and resolving to send Bussi to his duchy of Alencon as I have already mentioned, had lodged him in the Louvre, that he might be near him to take instructions at every opportunity.
Translation by Caxton of Recueil des Histoires des Troyes. Normandy ravaged by Charles the Bold. Philippe de Comines, the chronicler, enters into the service of Louis XI. Resumption of the commotions in France; the Count of Armagnac assassinated; the Duke of Alençon arrested. Ferdinand and Isabella commence their joint reign in Castile.
Charles IX. in his grave, Henry III. on the throne, Alencon in the Huguenot camp Henry at last made his escape. The brief war and peace of Monsieur succeeded, and the King of Navarre formally abjured the Catholic creed. The parties were now sharply defined. Guise mounted upon the League, Henry astride upon the Reformation, were prepared to do battle to the death.
The rector was therefore not received in the Cormon household, whose sympathies were all given to the curate of Saint-Leonard, the aristocratic parish of Alencon. So much for the first case; the second was this: Under the secret inspiration of du Bousquier the idea of building a theatre had dawned on Alencon.
Haven't you said so yourself? For my part, I listen to you; I understand you a great deal more than you think I do, for I still bear you in my bosom, and your every thought still stirs me as your slightest motion did in other days." "I shall never succeed here, mamma; and I don't want you to witness the sight of my struggles, my misery, my anguish. Oh, mother, let me leave Alencon!
Hulot saw at once that the sound came from a postilion harnessing his horses to the coach, and he cast aside his suspicions, all the more because it seemed absurd to suppose that the Chouans would risk themselves in Alencon. He returned to the house confounded.
But these criticisms fall before the fact that the noble catholic, apostolic, and Roman religion is still erect in Brittany and in the ancient duchy of Alencon. Faith and piety admit of no subtleties. Mademoiselle Cormon trod the path of salvation, preferring the sorrows of her virginity so cruelly prolonged to the evils of trickery and the sin of a snare.
