The Duc d'Angouleme, the Marechals de Schomberg and d'Estrees, Fabert, and other dignitaries were on horseback beside the litter; after them, among the most prominent were the Cardinal de la Vallette and Mazarin, with Chavigny, and the Marechal de Vitry, anxious to avoid the Bastille, with which it was said he was threatened.
Eliminate the strange prologue of the Revolution, and the Emperor would never have existed; he would have been no more than a second edition of Fabert. Venal beauty, if it finds no amateurs, no celebrity, no cross of dishonor earned by squandering men's fortunes, is Correggio in a hay-loft, is genius starving in a garret.
"Now, boy, don't tell me you have breakfasted! But even if you have, you must breakfast again. Come, sit down! Sit down! My fellow makes most excellent coffee good as Madame Gustav's of the rue Fabert! Remember the rue Fabert?" So he rattled on, placing a second chair, seeking an additional cup, and ever Max listened, happy with an acute happiness that almost touched the verge of tears.
All Europe thought as the young captain in the guards, afterwards Marshal Fabert, who, when the king said to him, "I know that my army is divided into two factions, royalists and cardinalists; which are you for?" answered, "Cardinalists, sir, for the cardinal's party is yours."
He had even the mortification to find himself abruptly interrupted by the minister, who cried at the most flattering period of his honeyed discourse: "Ah! is that you at last, my dear Fabert? How I have longed to see you, to talk of the siege!"
The Irishman paid with the manner of a prince, and, slipping his arm again through the boy's, moved to the door; there he looked back. "Good-day, madame! Many thanks for your charming hospitality! Give my respects to monsieur, your husband and kiss the little Léon for me!" They passed out into the rue Fabert, into the fresh and frosty air, and involuntarily the boy's arm pressed his.
Fandor was too much a detective at heart to neglect the smallest detail. His inspection was soon done. The house possessed two entrances; that in the Avenue de la Tour-Maubourg was for the use of the servants and common folk only. The front door opened on the rue Fabert. A courtyard at the back separated it from the Avenue de la Tour-Maubourg.
"I have none," said Cinq-Mars, pitying the King; and he slowly left the apartment. He stopped in the first gallery. Fabert and all the gentlemen rose on seeing him. He walked up to the commander, and said: "Sir, order these gentlemen to arrest me!" They looked at each other, without daring to approach him.
Rapid phrases succeeded one another on his lips. "We shall soon take Perpignan," he said to Fabert, who stood at some distance. "Well, Cardinal, Lorraine is ours," he added to La Vallette. Then, touching Mazarin's arm: "It is not so difficult to manage a State as is supposed, eh?"
Fabert alone advanced toward him with the frank, brusque air habitual with him, and, making use of the terms belonging to his profession, said: "Well, my lord, you make a breach in the midst of them like a cannon-ball; I ask pardon in their name." "And you stand firm before me as before the enemy," said the Cardinal; "you will have no cause to regret it in the end, my dear Fabert."
