D'Epernon made a last bravado, "What! you are all afraid of me?" he cried. "Hold your tongue," said Antragues. "Come away, bravest of the brave," said Chicot, "or else you will lose another pair of shoes." "What do you mean?" "I mean that there will soon be blood on the ground, and that you will walk in it, as you did last night."
"Know what?" "The service that he rendered to the duke." "Who? St. Luc?" "No; Monsoreau." "Really." "Yes, you shall see; come with me," and Bussy, followed by Livarot and Antragues, galloped after the Duc d'Anjou. "Ah, monseigneur," said he, "what a precious man M. de Monsoreau is." "Ah! really; then you spoke to him?" "Certainly." "And asked him what he had done for me?"
"With doublets or without?" said Schomberg. "Without doublets, without shirts; our breasts bare, our hearts uncovered!" The young men threw off their doublets and shirts. "I have lost my dagger," said Quelus; "it must have fallen on the road." "Or else you left it at M. de Monsoreau's, in the Place de la Bastile," said Antragues. Quelus gave a cry of rage, and drew his sword.
"Kill him! kill him!" cried several voices, "do not let him escape!" "Ah!" said Antragues, "just now you would not let me come in, now you will not let me go out. Take care, that will change my tactics, and instead of the flat of my sword, I will use the point instead of cutting the halberts, I will cut the wrists. Now, will you let me go?" "No, no, he is tired, kill him!"
After a good supper, they had all retired to sleep at Antragues's house, which was nearest to the field of battle. Antragues, before supper, had gone to take leave of a little milliner whom he adored, Ribeirac had written to his mother, and Livarot had made his will.
"Well," said Antragues, "it is not so uncommon to carry away a woman, is it, Bussy?" "No; but, at least, one might let them cry out." "And who was the woman?" "That I do not know; but he has a bad reputation," "Do you know anything else about him?" "No; but he is much feared by his tenantry. However, he is a good hunter, and will fill his post better than St.
"And I will live; therefore tranquilize yourself, Diana. Besides, I am well seconded you do not know my friends; Antragues uses his sword as well as I do, Ribeirac is so steady on the ground that his eyes and his arms alone seem to be alive, and Livarot is as active as a tiger. Believe me, Diana, I wish there were more danger, for there would be more honor."
"Yes," said Livarot, "or he will go to sleep in his chair." "Pardon, monseigneur, I am tired out." "Get tipsy," said Antragues; "there is nothing so good when you are tired. To your health, count!" "You must give us some good hunts," said Ribeirac, "you know the country." "You have horses and woods here," said Antragues. "And a wife," added Livarot. "We will hunt a boar, count," said the prince.
"Vive le roi!" cried Quelus; "I have still my sword!" And he rushed on Antragues, who parried the thrust, and, seizing his arm, wrested his sword from him, saying, "Now you have it no longer." "Oh, a sword!" cried Quelus; and, bounding like a tiger on Antragues, he threw his arms round him.
"And his wife? Madame de Monsoreau!" cried Antragues; but no one answered. "Bussy, poor Bussy." "Yes, they wished to get rid of the most formidable of us all." "It is cowardly! it is infamous!" "We will tell the duke." "No," said Antragues, "let us not charge any one with the care of our vengeance.
