I need not tell you what the ladies of his reign thought of him; my present business is with the ruder sex. "Among the courtiers of the day was a certain Vicomte Arnoud de Gency, a young man who, at the age of eighteen, won his grade of colonel at the siege of Besançon by an act of coolness and courage worthy recording.
But sobs choked him, and he could not utter more. "'What is this? Will no one tell? cried the king, as a frown of dark omen shadowed his angry features. "'Your Majesty has lost a brave, an honest, and a faithful follower, Sire, said Monsieur de Coulanges. 'Arnoud de Gency is no more. "'Why, I saw him this instant, said the king. 'He asked me some favor for his boy.
I never saw him so gay and so eager as he appeared on the following morning, in spite of the twinges of gout which heralded an approaching attack. The devil himself could not have been better able to keep up a conversation on trifling subjects than he was. He had formerly been a musketeer in the Grays and had known Sophie Arnoud.

The king supped in Madame de la Vallière's apartment; the private band played the most delicious airs during the repast; and when at length the party retired to rest, not one bright dream was clouded by the memory of Arnoud de Gency. "Here, now, were I merely recounting an anecdote, I should stop," said the chevalier; "but must continue a little longer, though all the romance of my story is over.
