Will you be good enough to come and see me? for I am told you have arrived from Blois. "Your devoted "Villiers, Duke of Buckingham." "I am going now to see your master," said Raoul to De Guiche's servant, as he dismissed him; "and I shall be with the Duke of Buckingham in an hour," he added, dismissing with these words the duke's messenger. Sword-thrusts in the Water
"No, no; nearer ourselves than that." "Casa de usted," murmured the queen-mother, and without moving her lips, in her daughter-in-law's ear, without being overheard by Madame, who thus continued: "You know the terrible news?" "Oh, yes; M. de Guiche's wound." "And you attribute it, I suppose, as every one else does, to an accident which happened to him while hunting?"
During this time, the king asked for Saint-Aignan; the valet ran to his late apartments and found M. Dangeau there; Dangeau sent him on to De Guiche's, and Saint-Aignan was found there; but a little delay had of course taken place, and the king had already exhibited once or twice evident signs of impatience, when Saint-Aignan entered his royal master's presence, quite out of breath.
And you enjoin my sister-in-law to be satisfied, and require me to be satisfied, too." "You are raving, my dear Philip," said Anne of Austria; "you have driven the Duke of Buckingham away; you have been the cause of M. de Guiche's exile; do you now wish to send the king away from Fontainebleau?"
"Did your royal highness," continued the chevalier, "solicit dear De Guiche's pardon?" "No, indeed," said Monsieur. "De Guiche is an excellent fellow, and full of courage; but as I do not approve of his conduct with Madame, I wish him neither harm nor good."
When he reached Guiche's residence, he was informed that Guiche was with Monsieur.
"I do not like the man, and, as I never liked him, the result is, that I am on no worse terms with him to-day than I was yesterday." "Let us go, then." The four descended the stairs. De Guiche's carriage was waiting at the door, and took them to the Palais Royal. As they were going along, Raoul was engaged in devising his scheme of action.
"I do not precisely know what I told him, I must confess: but I do know what I did not tell him." De Wardes was finesse itself. He perfectly well knew from De Guiche's tone and manner, which was cold and dignified, that the conversation was about to assume a disagreeable turn. He resolved to let it take what course it pleased, and to keep strictly on his guard.
Then, stretching out his hand and feeling all over the ground close to where the comte lay, he sought until he found De Guiche's pistol. "By Heaven!" he said, rising to his feet, pale as death and with the pistol in his hand, "you are not mistaken, he is quite dead." "Dead!" repeated De Wardes. "Yes; and his pistol is still loaded," added Manicamp, looking into the pan.
"By a poacher, rather, or by a jealous husband, or an ill-used lover, who, in order to be revenged, fired upon him." "What is it that you say, Monsieur Valot? Were not M. de Guiche's wounds produced by defending himself against a wild boar?"
