"What! you, a member of the court, living in Madame's household, a friend of Monsieur's, a guest at their table, the favorite of our lovely princess?" Guiche colored violently from anger. "What princess are you alluding to?" he said. "I am only acquainted with one, my dear fellow. I am speaking of Madame herself. Are you devoted to another princess, then? Come, tell me."
I have been here at Fontainebleau since eight o'clock this evening inquiring for De Guiche in every direction, but no De Guiche can be found. I am dying with uneasiness.
"Why, monseigneur, I have experienced that to my cost; a woman who was the cause of my being exiled!" "What a revengeful disposition you have, De Guiche, how virulently you bear malice." "I should like the case to be your own, monseigneur."
"Welcome, De Guiche, come on my right side, but keep your horse in hand, for I wish to return at a walking pace under the cool shade of these trees." "As you please, monseigneur," said De Guiche, taking his place on the prince's right as he had been invited to do.
The former, after having saluted the prince, remained silent for a moment, like a sharpshooter who deliberates before deciding in what direction he will renew his fire; then, seeming to make up his mind, he said, "Have you remarked a very singular coincidence, monseigneur?" "No; what is it?" "The bad reception which his majesty, in appearance, gave the Comte de Guiche." "In appearance?"
Those portraits to which some would attach importance they are of the Duchess de Guiche. Admitted? Good! If you yourself who have the reputation of being a man of wit desired to secure the escape of a child and his nurse, would you content yourself with the mere precaution of concealing the child's identity?
And before the tutor could recover from his surprise they had both disappeared into the forest. Whilst they spurred their steeds they held their pistols ready also. In five minutes they arrived at the spot whence the noise had proceeded, and then restraining their horses, they advanced cautiously. "Hush," whispered De Guiche, "these are cavaliers."
"Oh! fear nothing you are beloved you are beloved, count; do you feel the value of these three words? They signify that you can raise your head, that you can sleep tranquilly, that you can thank God every minute of you life. You are beloved; that signifies that you may hear everything, even the counsel of a friend who wishes to preserve your happiness. You are beloved, De Guiche, you are beloved!
"Sometimes with the queen of England, sometimes with Madame de Chevreuse. He and the Count de Guiche are like each other's shadows." "Thanks, Planchet, thanks!" cried Athos, extending his hand to the lieutenant. "Oh, sir!" Planchet only touched the tips of the count's fingers. "Well, what are you doing, count to a former lackey? "My friend," said Athos, "he has given me news of Raoul."
Very fortunately the horse in its dying agonies moved so as to enable him to release the leg which was less entangled than the other. De Guiche rose, felt himself all over, and found that he was not wounded.
