"I shall not treat you as your late master treated my brother." "I thank your generosity, monsieur, and commend your good sense." Mayenne looked for a moment as if he repented of both. Then he broke into a laugh. "One permits the insolences of the court jester." Monsieur sprang up, his hand on his sword. But at once the quick flush passed from his face, and he, too, laughed.
