"I will tell you in their presence, monsieur; at the same time that I will give you ample means of palliating this escape." "Escape! Why, then, monseigneur does not know?" "What?" "That Messieurs Lyodot and D'Eymeris are no longer here." "Since when?" cried Fouquet, in great agitation. "About a quarter of an hour." "Whither have they gone, then?" "To Vincennes to the donjon."
"MM. d'Eymeris and Lyodot," said D'Artagnan. "Do you know these names, Aramis?" "No," said the prelate, disdainfully; "they sound like the names of financiers." "Exactly; so they were." "Oh! M. Fouquet allows his friends to be hanged, then," said Porthos. "And why not?" said Aramis. "Why, it seems to me " "If these culprits were hanged, it was by order of the king.
Unfortunately, before he can reach me, that is to say, the body of the place, he must destroy, must make a breach in the advanced works, and I am devilishly well fortified, marquise." "What you call your advanced works are your creatures, are they not your friends?" "Exactly so." "And is M. d'Eymeris one of your creatures?" "Yes, he is." "Is M. Lyodot one of your friends?" "Certainly."
"A service I?" said the musketeer, "I have rendered a service to one of your friends?" "You cannot have forgotten it, monsieur, for it dates this very day." "And that friend's name was " "M. d'Eymeris." "One of the condemned?" "Yes, one of the victims. Well! Monsieur d'Artagnan, in return for the service you have rendered him, I beg you to accept this diamond. Do so for my sake." "Monsieur! you "
Messieurs de Lyodot and D'Eymeris are on the eve of their last day." "Of what are these gentlemen dying, then?" asked an officer. "Ask of him who kills them," replied Fouquet. "Who kills them? Are they being killed, then?" cried the terrified chorus.
"Then, when she was assured I was your devoted friend, she gave me the paper, and told me the secret of this house." "And this paper?" said Fouquet, in some degree of agitation. "Here it is, monsieur read it," said the marquise. Fouquet read: "Names of the farmers of revenue to be condemned by the Chamber of Justice: D'Eymeris, friend of M. F.; Lyodot, friend of M. F.; De Vanin, indif."
"Were it to cast myself into the fire for you, monseigneur, I would do it." "That is well," said Fouquet; "what I require is much more simple." "That being so, monseigneur, what is it?" "To conduct me to the chamber of Messieurs Lyodot and D'Eymeris." "Will monseigneur have the kindness to say for what purpose?"
"Lyodot, yesterday at daybreak; D'Eymeris, the day before yesterday, in the evening, as he was returning from the house of his mistress; their disappearances had disturbed nobody; but at length M. Colbert all at once raised the mask, and caused the affair to be published; it is being cried by sound of trumpet, at this moment in Paris, and, in truth, monseigneur, there is scarcely anybody but yourself ignorant of the event."
You have seen M. d'Artagnan in Paris, have you not?" "Certes, and think him a man of intelligence, and even a man of heart; although he did bring about the death of our dear friends, Lyodot and D'Eymeris." "Alas! yes, I heard of that. At Tours I met the courier who was bringing the letter from Gourville, and the dispatches from Pelisson. Have you seriously reflected on that event, monsieur?"
"Were it to cast myself into the fire for you, monseigneur, I would do it." "That is well," said Fouquet; "what I require is much more simple." "That being so, monseigneur, what is it?" "To conduct me to the chamber of Messieurs Lyodot and D'Eymeris." "Will monseigneur have the kindness to say for what purpose?"
