They said a 'Veni Creator' and a 'Salve Regina', and the doctor then rose and seated himself at a table, while the marquise, still on her knees, began a Confiteor and made her whole confession. At nine o'clock, Father Chavigny, who had brought Doctor Pirot in the morning, came in again. The marquise seemed annoyed, but still put a good face upon it.
By the letter that he wrote the same day to Oxenstiern we are informed, that the Count de Berlise, Introductor of the Ambassadors, came to him before he had this last audience of the King, to know if he would not first have a conference with Chavigny, Secretary of State for foreign affairs, agreeable to the usage of the Ministers from England, Venice, and Savoy.
Monsieur de Beaufort took the pieces out of his mouth and presented them with great formality to Monsieur de Chavigny, saying that for that evening the entertainment was ended, but in three months it should be repeated, when Pistache would have learned a few new tricks. Three days afterward Pistache was found dead poisoned.
Some days after this audience, Chavigny informed the Swedish Ambassador that John De Vert was the King's prisoner, though Lewis XIII. had said the contrary.
Monsieur de Turenne's stablemen look after the horses of his staff. When I do not dine with him, I and my two friends, M. de Lisle and M. de Chavigny, dine and sup together at an inn. There is my room to keep tidy, my bed to make, my armour and arms to be polished, and my clothes to be brushed. Hitherto, my orderly has done these things, but it will now be your duty.
The Duc d'Angouleme, the Marechals de Schomberg and d'Estrees, Fabert, and other dignitaries were on horseback beside the litter; after them, among the most prominent were the Cardinal de la Vallette and Mazarin, with Chavigny, and the Marechal de Vitry, anxious to avoid the Bastille, with which it was said he was threatened.
During the fight at Santina Hector remained behind Turenne, while the two young Frenchmen, carried away by their ardour, joined in the hot pursuit of the enemy. The prince, who had led the charge, had halted. "Are you alone here, Monsieur Campbell?" "Yes, sir." "Where are de Lisle and Chavigny?" "They rode on with the cavalry, sir." Turenne frowned. "You have done well to remain.
In addition to what the president had said, he had heard from Father Chavigny that he had told her the Sunday before that it was very unlikely she would escape death, and indeed, so far as one could judge by reports in the town, it was a foregone conclusion. When he said so, at first she had appeared stunned, and said with an air of great terror, "Father, must I die?"
"But one turn of good fortune may save everything?" "The Stuarts are not fortunate, Sire," answered Chavigny, respectfully, but in a tone which left ample room for consideration. "Leave me," said the King, with some displeasure. The State-Secretary slowly retired. It was then that Louis XIII beheld himself as he really was, and was terrified at the nothingness he found in himself.
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."
