"Of Cinq-Mars the rebel," she said, sighing. "Well, have it so, the rebel; but no longer the favorite. Rebel, criminal, worthy of the scaffold, I know it," cried the impassioned youth, falling on his knees; "but a rebel for love, a rebel for you, whom my sword will at last achieve for me." "Alas, a sword imbrued in the blood of your country! Is it not a poniard?" "Pause! for pity, pause, Marie!
"Touching and invincible constraint to make you accept a throne," said Cinq-Mars, bitterly. "I well conceive you must need some efforts to resist such seductions; but first, Madame, I must release you from your vows." "Alas, great Heaven! what is there, then, against us?" "There is God above us, and against us," replied Henri, in a severe tone; "the King has deceived me."
The priest hastily seized the ring, and passed it through the opposite grating; this mark of indifference astonished Cinq-Mars. "What! Father," he said, "are you also changed?" Marie wept no longer; but, raising her angelic voice, which awakened a faint echo along the aisles of the church, as the softest sigh of the organ, she said, returning the ring to Cinq-Mars: "O dearest, be not angry!
I will tell you all in a few words: in two hours you will be interrogated, tried, and condemned to death with your friend. It can not be otherwise, for all will be finished the same day." "I know it," answered Cinq-Mars; "and I am prepared." "Well, then, I can still release you from this affair.
"Gentlemen, we will relate this to our mistresses in Paris," said Locmaria, throwing his hat into the air; and Cinq-Mars, De Thou, Coislin, De Mouy, Londigny, officers of the red companies, and all the young noblemen, with swords in their right hands and pistols in their left, dashing, pushing, and doing each other by their eagerness as much harm as they did the enemy, finally rushed upon the platform of the bastion, as water poured from a vase, of which the opening is too small, leaps out in interrupted gushes.
"All with her; nothing without her that was my desire." "It is from obstinacy and vanity that you persist; it is impossible," replied Joseph. "It is not in nature." "Thou who wouldst deny the spirit of self-sacrifice," answered Cinq-Mars; "dost thou understand that of my friend?" "It does not exist; he follows you because " Here the Capuchin, slightly embarrassed, reflected an instant.

He observed with vexation that the group of dark-clad citizens was near him; but the great gates, closing, left the part of the court where the people stood in such darkness that there was no likelihood of his being recognized.
We will present him ourselves. Ah, do not let him be a Cardinalist; he is too good a fellow for that!" exclaimed all the young men, with vivacity. "Monsieur, I will undertake to disgust you with him," said Olivier d'Entraigues, approaching Cinq-Mars, "for I have been his page. Rather serve in the red companies; come, you will have good comrades there."
It was a false alarm, which I will myself explain this evening." De Thou had already perceived the importance of this order; he went out and returned immediately. He found Cinq-Mars seated, calm, and endeavoring to cleanse the blood from his face. "De Thou," said he, looking fixedly at him, "retire; you disturb me." "I leave you not," answered the latter.
