When the marquise perceived the doctor, suspecting that her trial was leading her to death, she approached him, saying: "You have come, sir, because " But Father Chavigny, who was with M. Pirot; interrupted her, saying: "Madame, we will begin with a prayer."
There were very few with the Duchess of Savoy, and whenever there were receptions or state ceremonies of any kind, I was always ready to exchange with de Lisle or Chavigny, my fellow aides-de-camp. So that during the whole time I was there, I never but once or twice accompanied the general on such occasions." "Ah, you were younger then," Home laughed.
Then, aloud: "Well, my dear La Ramee! the day after to-morrow is a holiday." "Yes, my lord Pentecost." "Will you give me a lesson the day after to-morrow?" "In what?" "In gastronomy?" "Willingly, my lord." "But tete-a-tete. Send the guards to take their meal in the canteen of Monsieur de Chavigny; we'll have a supper here under your direction." "Hum!" said La Ramee.
Two days ago Louvier summoned to his house the surviving relations or connections of De Mauleon among whom are the Marquis de Rochebriant, the Counts de Passy, De Beauvilliers, De Chavigny, my father, and of course his two sons and submitted to us the proofs which completely clear the Vicomte de Mauleon of even a suspicion of fraud or dishonour in the affair of the jewels.
We came merely to inquire after your health and to take your orders." "As to my health, since it has stood five years of prison, with Monsieur de Chavigny to boot, 'tis excellent! As to my orders, since every one gives his own commands in our party, I shall end, if this goes on, by giving none at all."
Some days after, Chavigny sent another Secretary, asking him to confer as soon as possible with the Earl of Leicester.
Amidst the cares of administration and of war, Condé carried on an assiduous correspondence with Chavigny, then fallen into disgrace, who kept him well informed of the state of affairs at Court and in Paris. They had assumed quite a new face during the last few months. Mazarin in his exile had not learned without inquietude the ever-increasing success of Châteauneuf.
These bitter-sweet pleasantries lasted ten minutes, sometimes longer, but always finished thus: Monsieur de Chavigny, turning toward the door, used to call out: "Halloo! La Ramee!" La Ramee came into the room. "La Ramee, I recommend Monsieur le Duc to you, particularly; treat him as a man of his rank and family ought to be treated; that is, never leave him alone an instant."
Chavigny commended this resolution; adding, that the King intended to employ him in accommodating the affair of the Elector Palatine; which might be accomplished, if the Prince would only declare, that he had not proposed to himself any views on the Duke of Weymar's army but with the King's consent, whom he designed to consult; and if he would promise to carry on no intrigue for the future in that army without the approbation of the Queen of Sweden and the French King; that he might then be permitted to remain at Paris, after giving his parole, and engaging the English Ambassador to give his, that he should not leave it without the King's permission.
I have since learned from Chavigny that for two long months they had been waiting that happy moment. "Apropos of the Abbe, my lord, the Queen insists upon making him coadjutor." "She is mad! he will ruin her if she connects herself with him; he's a musketeer in canonicals, the devil in a cassock. Read his 'Histoire de Fiesque'; you may see himself in it. He will be nothing while I live."
