"Well, Sire," said Cinq-Mars, with confidence, "Monsieur and he will explain to you during the hunt how all is prepared, who are the men that may be put in the place of his creatures, who the field-marshals and the colonels who may be depended upon against Fabert and the Cardinalists of Perpignan. You will see that the minister has very few for him.
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."
He had set his host and his table neighbours gossiping to such purpose that he could tell at what time de Naarboveck rose in the morning, what his habits were, if he fasted on Fridays, and what he paid for his cigars. "Monsieur de Naarboveck, if you please?" Jérôme Fandor had rung the bell of the front entrance in the rue Fabert. It was just striking nine.
As for Richelieu, bowing and smiling to right and left, he stepped forward and stood at the right hand of the King as his natural place. A stranger entering would rather have thought, indeed, that it was the King who was on the Cardinal's left hand. As for Fabert, he had retired to a corner of the tent, and seemed to have paid no particular attention to the scene.
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."
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 General, with a brusque and awkward manner, saluted the Cardinal-Generalissimo, and presented to him the officers who had come from the camp with him.
