You have a gardener at your house at Champigny, and suppose the idea seized upon this worthy man to dig up the ground round the wall at the end of the garden." "That is enough," said Catenac, piteously. "I give in." Mascarin adjusted his spectacles, as he always did in important moments. "You give in, do you? Not a bit. Even now you are endeavoring to find a means of parrying my home thrusts."
On their return to Loches they often recalled with pleasure the events which had led to their meeting with the Princess de Montpensier, a subject which did not give rise to the same pleasure at Champigny. The Prince de Montpensier was dissatisfied with all that had happened without being able to say precisely why. He found fault with his wife for being in the boat.
"You are wounded, mon brave, and seriously I am afraid, but not fatally at least I hope not." "Is this Champigny?" "Yes." "Then we have held the village?"

The Duc d'Anjou did not abandon the sentiments she had inspired in him at Champigny, he took great care to make her aware of this by all sorts of delicate considerations, being careful at the same time not to make his attentions too obvious for fear of arousing the jealousy of her husband.
Convinced of the Duc's sincerity, the Princess, in spite of the resolution she had made at Champigny, began to feel in the depths of her heart something of what she had felt in the past. The Duc d'Anjou for his part, omitted nothing which could demonstrate his devotion in all the places where he could meet her.
The desperate defence of Champigny had indeed saved that portion of the French army across the river from destruction.
