Beaufort ordered Campion to assemble his troop and to ride after him, but Campion represented to the Duke that if they attacked the Cardinal in the company of the Count d'Harcourt, they must decide upon killing both, Harcourt being too generous to see Mazarin stabbed before his eyes without defending him, and that the murder of Harcourt would raise against them the entire house of Lorraine.
"Of course." "Well the Cafe d'Harcourt is not a place for a respectable girl to go to." "I gathered that," she answered quietly. "I won't go there again." "Have you quarreled with your friends?" he persisted; "have you run away?" "No," said Betty, and on a sudden inspiration, added: "I'm very, very tired. You can ask me any questions you like in the morning.
But then, you see, we have Turenne as well as d'Harcourt, and each of them ought to count for two or three thousand men." "Well, I would rather fight against long odds," the officer said, "than be kept here month after month doing nothing. Here is winter coming on, and I suppose that will put a stop to everything." "I should hardly think so," Hector replied.
He judged right in this particular. The king of England lent a willing ear to his proposals, and engaged in a plan for dismembering a kingdom in despite of the natives, and in violation of every law human or divine. While the French king cajoled William with this negotiation, the marquis d'Harcourt, his ambassador to Spain, was engaged in a game of a different nature at Madrid.
In the evening while I was at the King's supper, I was sent for by Madame de Saint-Simon, who informed me that the Lorraines, afraid of the complaints that would probably be addressed to the King upon what had taken place between the Princesse d'Harcourt and the Duchesse de Rohan, had availed themselves of what happened between Madame de Saint-Simon and Madame d'Armagnac, in order to be the first to complain, so that one might balance the other.
Indeed he took off his hat or raised it to nearly everybody, so that the Spaniards spoke on the subject to the Duc d'Harcourt, who replied to them that the King in all essential things would conform himself to usage, but that in others he must be allowed to act according to French politeness. It cannot be imagined how much these trifling external attentions attached all hearts to this Prince.
Upon this she pretended to sulk, in hopes that Madame de Maintenon would exert all her influence; but in this she was mistaken. The Prince accordingly by degrees got disgusted with the Court, and retired into the provinces for a time. The Princesse d'Harcourt was a sort of personage whom it is good to make known, in order better to lay bare a Court which did not scruple to receive such as she.
"Mon Dieu! we were Tristram and Yseult, we were all the great lovers in the Pantheon of love." "And what then?" "Oh, we went to the Cafe d'Harcourt mon ami." "Did she wear a veil?" I asked. "Oui, certainement!" "And did you say, 'Why do you wear a veil, setting a black cloud before the eyes and gates of heaven'?" "The very words," said the Frenchman.
He formed the design of slipping out of Bordeaux, traversing the lines of Count d'Harcourt, to get over in the best way he might the hundred and fifty leagues which separated him from the Loire and Paris, to appear there suddenly, and to place himself at the head of his affairs.
