"Have you come far?" asked Hyacinthe. "It is a bad season for traveling, and the wolves are out." "A long way," said the other. "A long, long way. I heard a child cry " "There is no child here," put in Hyacinthe. "Monsieur L'Oreillard says children cost too much money. But if you have come far, you must need food and fire, and I have neither. At the Cinq Chateaux you will find both."
Je me remis en route avant le jour pour regagner Gaza: mais quand j'y arrivai je ne retrouvai plus ni mes quatre compagnons, ni même messire Sanson de Lalaing. Tous cinq étoient retournés
Cinq Mars, the last favourite he had given the king, plotted his overthrow, with the help of the Spaniards, but was detected and executed, when the great minister was already at death's door. Richelieu recommended an Italian priest, Julius Mazarin, whom he had trained to work under him, to carry on the government, and died in the December of 1642.
I said to the garcon in his native tongue, or what I supposed to be that language. "Cinq sous," was his answer. By the laws of sentiment, I ought to have made the ignoble sum five francs, at least. But if I had done so, the waiter would undoubtedly have thought that I had just come from Charenton.
Je profitai du conseil; j'allai m'approvisionner, et je déjeunai avec d'autant plus de plaisir que depuis deux jours je n'avois gouté viande, et que je courois risque de n'en point tâter encore pendant cinq jours.

Look at the view down that impasse the sunlight and shadows on the houses, the doorways, the people. Oh, the air! Oh, the smells! Que c'est bon que je suis contente! Et dire que j'ai passé cinq mois, mais cinq grands mois, en Angleterre.
Louis's reigning favourite, the Grand-Écuyer, Cinq Mars, undermined and blackened the Cardinal as much as possible in his royal master's estimation. He knew of the conspiracy of the Count de Soissons, and without taking a share in it, he favoured it. He might therefore be reckoned upon to figure in the next.
It was the latter of these who translated from the Italian of Colletta Cinq jours de l'histoire de Naples, 8vo, Paris, 1820. The probability is that it was the elder Gallois whom Scott saw, and that he ascribed to him, though the title is misquoted, a work written by the younger.
