If not, sir, and you pay too dearly for what you have done for me, I will live a maiden all my days. And, if I do not, these men may shame me! My heart was too full for words, but I took the glove she held out to me, and kissed her hand with my knee bent. Then I waved for I could not speak to madame to proceed; and with Simon Fleix and Maignan's men to guard them they went on their way.
When the king came to Blois she followed his Majesty, thinking to be safer here; but the priest came too, and got more money, and more, until he left her this. 'This! I said. And I set my teeth together. Simon Fleix nodded.
'Maignan came to my uncle with the news, and M. de Rambouillet went at once, early as it was, to the king to procure your release. He should be here now. I looked at the barred window, the most horrible fears at my heart; from it to Simon Fleix, who stood beside it, his attitude expressing the utmost dejection. I went towards him. 'You hound! I said in a low voice, 'how did it happen?
In 1579 "the Gallants' War" broke out; the Leaguers had it all their own way; but Henri III., not too friendly to them, and urged by his brother Anjou, to whom had been offered sovereignty over the seven united provinces in 1580, offered the insurgents easy terms, and the Treaty of Fleix closed the seventh war.
At that moment Simon Fleix returned with our torch, which he had lighted at the nearest cross-streets, where there was a brazier, and we saw by this light that the man was coughing up blood, and might live perhaps half an hour. 'Mordieu! That comes of thrusting too high! M. Francois muttered, regretfully. An inch lower, and there would have been none of this trouble!

Upon Simon Fleix, on the other hand, the discovery that Bruhl was moving, and that consequently peril threatened us from a new quarter, had a different effect.
Simon Fleix roused me at last from my stupor, making me understand that she was not dead, but in a deep swoon, the result of the shock she had undergone. A leech, for whom he had despatched a neighbour, came in as I rose, and taking my place, presently restored her to consciousness.
Its stillness swallowed up all the tumults which filled the cities of France, and its one interest the coming and going of a feeble breath eclipsed the ambitions and hopes of a lifetime. Before it grew light Simon Fleix stole out to attend to the horses.
At that moment, as I lifted my eyes, I saw something which for an instant rooted me to the spot with astonishment. In the entrance of the passage which led to the Rue St. Denys two people were standing, watching us. The one was Simon Fleix, and the other, a masked woman, a trifle below the middle height, and clad in a riding-coat, was Mademoiselle de la Vire! I knew her in a moment.
