"Quite right; but that is not all, you must be charmingly polite to him; he is frightfully jealous of the Duc d'Anjou, who, while you were ill in bed, promenaded before the house with his Aurilly. Make advances, then, to this charming husband, and do not even ask him what has become of his wife, since you know quite well." "You are right, Remy, I believe.
"Where shall I place it?" said the hypocritical follower. "Oh, anywhere; against that wall, for instance." The sentinel walked off, and the duke mounted the ladder, Aurilly standing at the foot. The room in which Henri had placed Diana was matted, and had a large oaken bed with serge curtains, a table, and a few chairs.
The duke, without his sword, was in his armchair between these two men, who only looked at him to watch his movements, and only spoke to him to say something disagreeable: seeing Aurilly, he got up to meet him. "Take care monseigneur," said Maugiron, "you are stepping on my figures." "Mon Dieu!" cried the musician, "he insults my master!"
By-the-by, you have heard the news?" "No, monseigneur; what news?" "Aurilly has been eaten up by the wolves " "Aurilly!" exclaimed Henri, with surprise. "Yes, yes devoured! It is singular how every one who comes near me dies a violent death. Good-night, count; may you sleep well!" And the prince hurried away rapidly.
However, they remained quiet, and a quarter of an hour passed; then we saw two other men approach. By the moonlight Gertrude recognized Aurilly. 'Alas! mademoiselle; it is they, cried she.
"Send your men, and he will use them." "But I must know who it is." "I will show you in the morning." "Where?" "At the Louvre." "Then he is noble?" "Yes:" "Aurilly, you shall have the six thousand crowns." "Then it is settled?" "Irrevocably." "At the Louvre, then?" "Yes, at the Louvre." We have seen in the preceding chapter how Aurilly said to D'Epernon, "Be easy, Bussy will not fight to-morrow."
"Why, without counting the knife, I do not wish to amuse myself with making a mortal enemy of MM. de Joyeuse, who stand so well at court. If you had been king of this country, it might have passed; but now you must be gracious, above all with those who saved you, and Joyeuse did save you. They will say so, whether you do or not." "You are right, Aurilly, and yet and yet " "I understand.
"There are not many people above the house of Joyeuse." "Not that of France?" "Oh! oh!" "And see how they pay." said Aurilly, sliding into Remy's hand one of the rouleaux of gold. Remy shuddered and took a step back, but controlling himself, said: "You serve the king?" "No, but his brother, the Duc d'Anjou." "Oh! very well! I am the duke's most humble servant." "That is excellent."
You ought to go to the Louvre, Aurilly." "I did think of it, monseigneur, but I feared that this was only a tale invented to satisfy my messenger, and that the prince was seeking pleasure elsewhere, and might be annoyed at my seeking him." "Oh, no; the duke has too much sense to be pleasure-seeking on a day like this. Go to the Louvre; you will be sure to find him there."
Aurilly was then reduced to hoping for rain or sun to make her remove her mask; but neither rain nor sun had any effect, and whenever they stopped Diana took her meals in her own room. Aurilly tried to look through the keyholes, but Diana always sat with her back to the door.
