Wilt thou mope for ever?" She trembled. "Nay, nay, I'll mope no more, father," says she. "But do thou tell me who my mate is to be." Slyly he looked at her burning face and slyly kissed it. Then he began to sing "Quell' drudo, Messer Amore, Ha scelto un Dardo per cuore! Dardo acerbo, ardente, Che fa gridare le genti Ohimè! Dolce dolore!" She had been a fool indeed to miss such a rebus.
Stop at the threshold! This is a hall of judgment you are entering; the court is in session; and if you move five steps forward, you will be at its bar. There was a tribunal once in France, as you may remember, called the Chambre Ardente, the Burning Chamber. It was hung all round with lamps, and hence its name. The burning chamber for the trial of young maidens is the blazing ball-room.
Meanwhile Count Miossen's statement before the Chambre Ardente had become known; and, as often happens, popular opinion soon flew from one extreme to the other, so that the person whom it had stigmatized as the most atrocious of murderers, and would fain have torn in pieces before he reached the scaffold, was now bewailed as the innocent victim of a barbarous sacrifice.
The "Powder of Inheritance." The Chambre Ardente. The Comtesse de Soissons's Arrest Decreed. The Marquise de Montespan Buys Her Superintendence of the Queen's Council. Madame de Soubise. Madame de Maintenon and the King.
So far things were going well with me, and I felt myself justified in the hope that the famine years were coming to an end. I saw the sentence of the Chambre Ardente against me cancelled, and began to see also fine castles in dreamland, and with all these I unconsciously began to associate Diane.
And the wind howled round the house, and the fire crackled harmlessly in the chimney, but they noticed neither the fierce Wind the awful Fire. "It is a wild night," said Agatha at last. "But they are landed at Southampton long ago. Last night was lovely such a moon! and they were sure to sail, because the Ardente only plies once a week, and there is no other boat this winter-time.
Dugdale stated briefly, and as if it had been the most matter-of-fact thing in the world, how he meant to go to the owners of the Ardente and get the first tidings of her there; how, if neither that nor any rumours he could catch in and about the docks, were satisfactory, he should hire a small steamer and beat up and down Channel, calling in at all the ports where it was likely boats might have been picked up.
His cheek-bones were high as those of a Tartar, and the small and sunken eyes had a restless, savage look in them the look of a tiger; and no tiger ever thirsted for blood more ferociously than Dom Antoine de Mouchy, Doctor of the Sorbonne, and President of the Chambre Ardente, thirsted for the blood of his fellow-creatures.

For me, I find it strange that Frenchmen, who will not put up with a mortal king any longer, insist on retaining an immortal tyrant, far more despotic and ferocious. For what is the Bastille, or even the Chambre Ardente beside Hellfire? Humanity models its gods on its tyrants, and you, who reject the original, preserve the copy!"
