She looked towards the door near the head of the bed, the door that was slightly ajar. She looked aghast, as one does at the apprehension of a great and imminent danger. "Go while there is time! Do you not hear? It is the voice of La Chatre! I recognize it! And the other, his secretary, Montignac! Go, go, I pray you on my knees, flee while there is yet time!"
Then La Chatre became joyful, and said that there was a way one only by which I might free my father. Eagerly I begged to know that way, but with horror I refused it when I learned that it was to to hunt down a certain Huguenot captain, to make him trust me, and to betray him. For a time I would not hear his persuasions.
The following anecdote will serve as an illustration: The Marquis de la Châtre had been one of her lovers for an unconscionably long period, but never seemed to cool in his fidelity. Duty, however, called him away from Ninon's arms, but he was distressed with the thought that his absence would be to his disadvantage.
He has a great deal of intelligence and he works well at La Chatre, where his chief the collector adores him and mourns for him also. Well, do what you can, if you can do anything at all. They continue to damn your book. That doesn't prevent it from being a fine and good book.
She did, and helped us to do, too much in the Julich campaign to suffer the Spaniards to make themselves masters there now." It has been seen that the part played by France in the memorable campaign of 1610 was that of admiring auxiliary to the States' forces; Marshal de la Chatre having in all things admitted the superiority of their army and the magnificent generalship of Prince Maurice.
It was the Abbe de la Chatre, who for a long time had been chaplain to the King, and who was enraged against everyone who was made bishop before him.

Rather than slay mademoiselle on an uncertainty, he would come hither to assure himself, in which case God pity him!" "Thank you for your warning, monsieur," said La Chatre, with mock courtesy. "There shall be no shouting."
Ranuccio, son of the duke, rode also in the advance, while two experienced commanders, Vitry and De la Chatre, as well as the famous Marquis del Vasto, formerly general of cavalry in the Netherlands, who had been transferred to Italy but was now serving in the League's army as a volunteer, were associated with the young princes.
Meantime, Marshal de la Chatre, an honest soldier and fervent Papist, seventy-three years of age, ignorant of the language, the geography, the politics of the country to which he was sent, and knowing the road thither about as well, according to Aerssens, who was requested to give him a little preliminary instruction, as he did the road to India, was to co-operate with Barneveld and Maurice of Nassau in the enterprise against the duchies.
It was sold, however, and lost to me, like all the rest. Yes, fate is hard, sometimes. I was born at La Chatre; the college of La Chatre absorbed eighteen years of my life. Our head master used to remark that college is a second home; whereby I have always fancied he did some injustice to the first.
