This opinion Joyeuse did not hesitate to declare in the duke's tent. While the council was held among his captains, the duke was lying on a couch and listening, not to the advice of the admiral, but to the whispers of Aurilly. This man, by his cowardly compliances, his base flatteries, and his continual assiduities, had secured the favor of the prince.
The duke found the prince's valet rather unquiet at his master's absence, but he imagined that he had slept at the Louvre. The Due de Guise asked to speak to Aurilly, who was most likely to know where his master was.
But, turning, he saw that Monsoreau had followed, and was standing at the door. "Your highness mistakes your way," said he. "True," said the duke, "thank you." And he went down with rage in his heart. When he returned home, Aurilly glided into his room. "Well," said the duke, "I am baffled by the husband!" "And, perhaps, also by the lover, monseigneur." "What do you say?" "The truth."
Bravery was never one of D'Epernon's prominent qualities, and he looked on a duel with Bussy as certain death. When Aurilly heard it, he told D'Epernon that Bussy practised fencing every morning with an artist, lately arrived, who was said to have borrowed from all nations their best points, until he had become perfect. During this recital D'Epernon grew livid with terror. "Ah!
"Yes, at the third key I tried." "Are you sure you shut it again?" "Yes, monseigneur." Aurilly did not feel sure, as he said, but he did not choose to admit it. "Well, I will go; I shall return some other time." And the duke went away, promising to payoff the gentlemen for their interruption. They had hardly disappeared, when the five companions saw approach a cavalier wrapped in a large cloak.
"But if he is not?" "He is." "Of what crime?" "Of having displeased me." "Sire, have our family quarrels need of witnesses?" "You are right, monsieur. My friends, let, me speak a little to my brother." "I will take Aurilly," said Maugiron. "Now we are alone, monsieur," said the king, when they were gone. "I waited for this moment impatiently."
I told him all about the young man, whom I described. "'It was Aurilly; he said, 'and what did Gertrude answer? 'She did not answer at all. 'She was wrong, said he. 'Why? 'We must gain time. 'Time? 'Yes, I am now dependent on the Duc d'Anjou; in a fortnight, in a week perhaps, he will be in my power.
"Well, keep awake for a little while, and, since you have not written, I will write; only go and seek what is necessary. Go, Aurilly, and do not come back till you have found it; I will remain here." "I go, monseigneur." "And if, in your researches, you discover that the house is picturesque you know how I admire Flemish interiors, Aurilly." "Yes, monseigneur." "Well! call me."
Both rolled on the ground together, and Aurilly stretched out his hand to reach his dagger. "No, Aurilly, no," said Remy, placing his knee on his breast. "Le Haudoin!" cried Aurilly; "oh, I am a dead man!" "That is not yet true, but will be in a moment," cried Remy; and drawing his knife, he plunged the whole blade into the throat of the musician.
"Yes, it is my king who disquiets me; you must know, M. Aurilly, that at chess the king is a very insignificant person, who has no will, who can only go one step forward or back, or one to the right or left, while he is surrounded by active enemies, by knights who jump three squares at a time, by a crowd of pawns who surround him, so that if he be badly counseled he is a ruined king in no time, ma foi."
