It was hardly possible for a woman to be more ugly, with so fine a shape; but as a recompense, her ugliness was set off with every art. The use she was put to, was to dance with Flamarens, and sometimes, towards the conclusion of a ball, possessed of castanets and effrontery, she would dance some figured saraband or other, which amused the court. Let us now see in what manner this ended.
"Conclude, then, sir," answered De Chatillon, with as much hauteur as Aramis. "Gentlemen," resumed Aramis, "any one but the Comte de la Fere and myself would have had you arrested for we have friends in Paris but we are contented with another course. Come and converse with us for just five minutes, sword in hand, upon this deserted terrace." "One moment, gentlemen," cried Flamarens.

It is all one to us to us who do not command to-morrow's expedition." Chatillon and Flamarens looked at each other.
My people sought to conceal this piece of intelligence from me; but having once heard of it, I despatched Flamarens to ascertain in what corner of the cemetery he has been interred.
His colleague, Flamarens, deprived of his support, soon perceived that he was not likely to meet in England with the success he had expected, both from love and fortune: but Lord Falmouth, ever attentive to the glory of his master, in the relief of illustrious men in distress, provided for his subsistence, and Lady Southesk for his pleasures: he obtained a pension from the king, and from her everything he desired; and most happy was it for him that she had no other present to bestow but that of her heart.
As they arrived together, they exerted every endeavour to shine in concert: their talents were as different as their persons; Tambonneau, who was tolerably ugly, founded his hopes upon a great store of wit, which, however, no person in England could find out; and Flamarens, by his air and mien, courted admiration, which was flatly denied him.
This letter, sir, is merely intended to recal me to your remembrance, and to offer you the assurance of my respectful and affectionate regard. Will you permit me, sir, to present my respects to the Countess de Maurepas and Madame de Flamarens? Holt's Forge, 1st Sept., 1781. My dear General, From the bottom of my heart I congratulate you upon the arrival of the French fleet.
"I beg you to excuse me, madame; I wish to add nothing to the recital of these gentlemen until they perceive themselves that they have perhaps been mistaken." "Mistaken!" cried the queen, almost suffocated by emotion; "mistaken! what has happened, then?" "Sir," interposed Monsieur de Flamarens to Athos, "if we are mistaken the error has originated with the queen.
At this Athos and Aramis could not help exchanging not only a look but a smile; and had they not known it for a fact, this would have told them that De Chatillon and De Flamarens had been there. "My lord," said Athos, "we are satisfied; we came here only to express our loyalty and to say that we are at your lordship's service and his most faithful servants."
