The gathering cloud that now lowered so thick and threatening above the head of Richelieu seemed pregnant with inevitable destruction to his power and life. But ere long his eagle glance pierced through the overshadowing gloom, and the aim of Cinq Mars' dark intrigue became clearly revealed to his far-seeing introspection. A treachery, the secret of which has remained impenetrable to every research made during the last two centuries, caused the treaty concluded with Spain through the intervention of Fontrailles, and bearing the signatures of Gaston, Cinq Mars, and the Duke de Bouillon, to fall into his hands. From that instant the Cardinal felt certain of victory. He knew Louis XIII. thoroughly; he conjectured that he might in some access of his morbid and changeful humour have uttered reproachful words against his Minister in the favourite's ear even expressed a wish to be rid of him, as did our first Plantagenet when tired of the despotism of Thomas
"Then I am wrong after all," said I to myself. "Has she a husband, sir?" "Pardonnez-moi, elle est veuve, mais elle a un petit garcon de cinq ans, beau comme un ange." "That is she," said I, again reviving. "Is she a French woman?" "Du tout, monsieur, elle est une de vos compatriotes; et en est un fort joli exemplaire."
“Oui, Mademoiselle, je parle Français un peu.” “Say some more,” Laura demanded. Maida smiled. “Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze—” Laura looked impressed. “Do you speak any other language?” “Italian and German—a very little.” Laura stared hard at her and her look was full of question. But it was evident that she decided to believe Maida.
The light scarcely penetrated the deep niches of the aisles of the sacred building. In one of the chapels the darkest of them was the confessional, of which we have before spoken, whose high iron grating and thick double planks left visible only the small dome and the wooden cross. Here, on either side, knelt Cinq- Mars and Marie de Mantua.
We have seen Mademoiselle Mars twice, or thrice rather, in the Mariage de Figaro and in the little pieces of Le Jaloux sans amour, and La jeunesse de Henri Cinq, and admire her exceedingly.

I think my good grandmother loved me all the better for this fancied resemblance. She would arrange her jewels about my hair and bosom, as she had worn them when Buckingham came wooing for his master; and then she would bid her page hold a mirror before me and tell me to look at the face of which Queen Anne had been jealous, and for which Cinq Mars had run mad.
An announcement which, five being the equivalent of the zero in roulette, was followed by the hungry rake's sweeping everything into the coffers of the bank except the five-franc note which Tony had staked on the number cinq. He gathered up his winnings, and, turning excitedly to Ann, demanded why she wasn't playing. "Follow me," he told her. "I'm going to win to-night. I feel it in my bones."
I said at the time that the bodice should be cut longer, and made of two widths. It was your fault, Sonia, with your advice to make it shorter, and now you see the child is quite deformed by it.... Why, you're all crying again! What's the matter, stupids? Come, Kolya, begin. Make haste, make haste! Oh, what an unbearable child! "Cinq sous, cinq sous. "A policeman again! What do you want?"
Not wishing to engage in a war of words, the Queen courtesied somewhat less coldly, and quitted the apartment with Marie, who cast upon Cinq- Mars one of those looks which comprehend at once all the emotions of the soul.
