"Monsieur de Créquy," I said, "madame has received ill news, and it is necessary for her to see the King at once. Madame will start for Fontainebleau in an hour that will suit you, madame?" And I turned to La Valentinois. "Yes." "You will kindly make the necessary arrangements at once, monsieur and the Queen's guards will supply the escort. Monsieur de Lorgnac and I accompany madame."
"Well! we came back to England, and the boys were to correspond; and Madame de Crequy and I exchanged civilities; and Urian went to sea." "After that, all seemed to drop away. I cannot tell you all.

"Yes," continued Athos, "four times only; once at the house of Monsieur Crequy; another time at my own house in the country, in my chateau at when I had a chateau; a third time at Monsieur de Treville's where it surprised us all; and the fourth time at a cabaret, where it fell to my lot, and where I lost a hundred louis and a supper on it."

Agrippa Pavanes swung round and faced us, his hand on his sword-hilt. "I am in charge of this gate at present, and I will act as I think best.
