All the conspirators rose above the kneeling people. Every one put his hand to his belt or in his bosom, approaching close to the soldier whom he was to poniard. "What is he doing?" asked the Carthusian. "Has he his hat upon his head?" "He throws his hat upon the ground far from him," calmly answered the arquebusier. "Mon Dieu! quest-ce que ce monde!" Dernieres paroles de M. Cinq-Mars
"I shall return at midnight," he said to the arquebusier stationed at the door; "and meanwhile let no one enter the dungeon not even the Duke of Suffolk unless," he added, holding forth his hand to display a ring, "he shall bring this signet." Of the Brief Advantage gained by the Queen and the Cardinal.
"Bring Frojac to me." Blaise rode back along the irregular line formed by my rude soldiers, picked out an intelligent looking young arquebusier, and led him forward to me. I made this man, Frojac, our guide.
The arquebusier, the musketeer, and the bombardier looked carefully to the state of their weapons, ammunition, and equipments; the sailor sharpened his pike and cutlass; the officer put on his strongest casque and his best-wrought cuirass; the stewards placed supplies of bread and wine in convenient places, ready to the hands of the combatants; and the surgeons prepared their instruments and bandages, and spread tables in dark and shaded nooks, for the use of the wounded.
"What! are you too a sharer in their womanish fears, Suffolk?" cried Henry. "I thought you had been made of stouter stuff. If there is danger, I shall be the first to encounter it. Come," he added, snatching a torch from an arquebusier. And, drawing his dag, he hurried up the steep steps, while Suffolk followed his example, and three or four arquebusiers ventured after them.
SECOND YAGER. We're not to be driven the country about, Let 'em come here, and they'll find it out. FIRST ARQUEBUSIER. Good sirs, 'twere well to bethink ye still, That such is the emperor's sovereign will. TRUMPETER. Oh, as to the emperor, we needn't be nice. FIRST ARQUEBUSIER. Let me not hear you say so twice. TRUMPETER. Why, 'tis even so as I just have said.
"Then, sir, you deem that in slaying the hare, the arquebusier rid you of your witch wife?" There was a little bitterness, even scorn, in the tone. "I say not so, mistress. I know men-at-arms too well to credit all they say, and I was on my way to inquire into the matter and learn the truth when these same Dacres fell on me; and that I lie here is due to you and good Master Lambert.
SERGEANT. Not like us all I there disagree Friedland is quite independent and free, The Bavarian is no more a prince than he For, was I not by myself to see, When on duty at Brandeis, how the emperor said, He wished him to cover his princely head. FIRST ARQUEBUSIER. That was because of the Mecklenburgh land, Which he held in pawn from the emperor's hand.
On seeing this, the arquebusier, who recognised the ring, unlocked the door, and admitted him. Mabel was kneeling on the ground beside her grandsire, with her hands raised as in prayer, but as the tall man entered the vault, she started to her feet, and uttered a slight scream. "What is the matter, child?" cried Tristram.. "He is here! he is come!" cried Mabel, in a tone of the deepest terror.
The second halberdier recovered himself, and made to attack Frojac again, but I caught his weapon in my left hand, and so held it, while Frojac ran towards the arquebusier, who was now coming from the guard-house with lighted match.
