The gentleman, very much astonished, wished to withdraw his hand, and was angry. Boisseuil, stronger than he, said that he was a rogue, and that the company should see it, and immediately shaking his hand with fury put in evidence his deceit. The player, confounded, rose and went away. The game went on, and lasted long into the night. When finished, Boisseuil went away.

All that I have here related was clearly brought to light in due time. Boisseuil died shortly after D'Avaux. He was a tall, big man, warm and violent, a great gambler, bad tempered, who often treated M. le Grand and Madame d'Armagnac, great people as they were, so that the company were ashamed, and who swore in the saloon of Marly as if he had been in a tap-room.

He was feared; and he said to women whatever came uppermost when the fury of a cut-throat seized him. During a journey the King and Court made to Nancy, Boisseuil one evening sat down to play in the house of one of the courtiers. A player happened to be there who played very high. Boisseuil lost a good deal, and was very angry.

As he was leaving the door he found a man stuck against the wall it was the player who called him to account for the insult he had received. Boisseuil replied that he should give him no satisfaction, and that he was a rogue. "That may be," said the player, "but I don't like to be told so." They went away directly and fought. Boisseuil received two wounds, from one of which he was like to die.
