"Yes, let us enjoy life while he is still ill; but once he is well, I shall order myself a suit of mail, have new locks put on my doors, and you must ask the Duc d'Anjou if his mother has not given him some antidote against poison. Meanwhile, let us amuse ourselves." "Well, my dear friend, you see you have only rendered me half a service." "Do you wish me to finish it?" "Yes, in another way."
Until the testament of Charles II., the Duc d'Anjou was necessarily regarded as destined to be a subject all his life; and therefore could not be too much abased by education, and trained to patience and obedience: That supreme law, the reason of state, demanded this preference, for the safety and happiness of the kingdom, of the elder over the younger brother.
It was nearly eleven when I reached the Rue d'Anjou and began for the first time to mount the broad stairway of a Parisian palace.
"I cannot certify that they were his words," replied Briquet, who seemed to take a pleasure in teazing the cavalier. "Well, then, those they attribute to him." "They assert that he has confessed that he conspired for M. de Guise." "Against the king, of course?" "No; against the Duc d'Anjou." "If he confessed that " "Well?" "Well, he is a poltroon!" said the cavalier, frowning.
When the hubbub of the courtiers had subsided, the two other sons of France, brothers of M. d'Anjou, arrived, and all three embraced one another tenderly several times, with tears in their eyes. The ambassador of the Emperor immediately entered, little suspecting what had taken place, and was confounded when he learned the news.
She had taken an intense pride in thinking of him as her ancestor; she had been glad to trace her lineage back over three centuries to the love-lorn French noble who had come to England in the train of the Due d'Anjou and now now she knew she had no connection at all with him, that she was an unnamed, unbaptised nobody an unclaimed waif of humanity whom no one wanted!
We shall see soon how Madame de Maintenon kept her word to me, and if I am not right in owing her a grudge for this promise with a double meaning, with which it was her caprice to decoy me by her shuffling. Birth of the Duc d'Anjou. The Present to the Mother. The Casket of Patience. Departure of the King for the Army. The King Turns a Deaf Ear. How That Concerns Madame de Maintenon.
At this moment the Duc d'Anjou, who had been summoned to attend the council, entered. "My brother," said Henri, "M. de Morvilliers comes to announce a plot to us." The duke threw a suspicious glance round him. "Is it possible?" he said. "Alas, yes, monseigneur," said M. de Morvilliers. "Tell us all about it," said Chicot. "Yes," stammered the duke, "tell us all about it, monsieur."
"Does the baron know you, M. de Bussy?" asked St. Luc. "It is the first time I ever had the honor of seeing M. de Meridor," said Bussy, who alone understood the effect which the name of the Duc d'Anjou had produced on the old man. "Ah! you a gentleman of the Duc d'Anjou!" cried the baron, "of that monster, that demon, and you dare to avow it, and have the audacity to present yourself here!"
Only tell me, my dear young lady, where I shall find you, to keep you informed of my discoveries, and to take measures with regard to the young prince, if my inquiries, as I hope, shall be attended with success." "You will find me in my new house, Rue d'Anjou, formerly Beaulieu House.
