Daylight, when it came, succeeded in at last awakening Gorenflot, who sat up, and began to look about him, at the remains of their last night's repast, and at Chicot, who, although also awake, lay pretending to snore, while, in reality, he watched. "Broad daylight!" said the monk. "Corbleu, I must have passed the night here. And the abbey! Oh, dear!
"Well, my dear Abbe, I see that no great harm has come to you, for you speak with decided energy." "Corbleu!" cried Gondi, wiping the dust out of his eyes, "to fire a pistol in the face of that giant I had to lean forward and rise in my stirrups, and thus I lost my balance; but I fancy that he is down, too."
Corbleu, we confront the meteor. Let us see acts, and not words. What has he done?" "He has ordered two gibbets of the executioner of Paris," answered Gourville. Fouquet raised his head, and a flash gleamed from his eyes. "Are you sure of what you say?" cried he. "Here is the proof, monseigneur."

"Corbleu!" cried Chicot, "do not be so rude to my friends, M. Bussy, for I draw the sword, though I am a king, as well as if I was a common man." "If he continue such pleasantries, I will chastise Chicot, sire," said Maugiron. "No, no, Maugiron, Chicot is a gentleman. Besides, it is not he who most deserves punishment, for it is not he who is most insolent."
M. Chicot!" said Henri, "you are never content. Diable! I do not ask even for complaisance, but for good sense." "You are right, Henri; it is what you want most." "Confess I have done well." "That is just what I do not think." "Ah! you are jealous, M. Roi de France." "I! Heaven forbid. I shall choose better subjects for jealousy." "Corbleu." "Oh! what self-love." "Am I or not king of the League?"
Corbleu! mon cher, a man of thrice your capital, who watched every speculation of yours with a hostile eye, might some beau jour make even you a bankrupt!"

Because of the trust reposed in me, I could not yield; either I must win a way through, or leave my dead body there on the bank. My companion's voice recalled me to action. "Fire your pistol directly we come within range," he said, "and then lay on with the sword." "But we must give them warning, Jacques!" "It is needless; they have seen us, and are preparing. Corbleu! it is as I thought!
