Too feeble to defend his daughter, M. Joyeuse, foaming with rage, draws his knife from his pocket, stabs the insolent fellow full in the breast, and with head high goes off, strong in the right of an outraged father, to make his declaration at the nearest police-station. "I have just killed a man in an omnibus!"
"My heart is here, brother; my life is here." Joyeuse crossed his arms with a mixture of anger and pity. "If our father," he said, "begged you to let yourself be attended by Miron, who is at once a philosopher and a doctor?" "I should reply to my father that I am well and that my brain is sound, and that Miron cannot cure love sickness." "Well, then, Henri, I must make the best of it.
She spoke low, but clearly and firmly. "I love you both, please remember that I love you both. But I must go away from you. I can't live any longer here at Cote Joyeuse." A spasm passed through Mam'selle Pauline's delicate frame. La Petite could feel the twitch of it in the wiry fingers that were intertwined with her own. Ma'ame Pelagie remained unchanged and motionless.
Such, for example, was the execution of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, in 1586. It was known that Philip II. was preparing to crush England. Elizabeth did what she could to support Henri of Navarre; he had the good fortune to win the battle of Contras, in which the Duc de Joyeuse, one of the favourites of Henri III., was defeated and killed.
"Gentlemen," said Henri, "I thank you all; you have rightly been called the example to the army, but I can but take one hundred; and as I do not wish to choose, let chance decide. Monsieur," continued he, to the ensign, "draw lots, if you please." While this was being done, Joyeuse gave his last instructions to his brother.
And, behold, that master habitually so cold in his manner, sheathed in his yellow fat as in a bale of raw silk, became affectionate, paternal, communicative. He desired to know how many daughters Joyeuse had. "I have three; no, I should say, four, M. le Baron. I always confuse them. The eldest is such a sensible girl." Further he wished to know their ages. "Aline is twenty, M. le Baron.
Is not that enough for you, or must you also enjoy the weakness of your friends?" "If you will remain, Joyeuse, you will see that it is interesting." "I do not doubt it, sire; I only think that the interest will be carried to a point that I cannot bear;" and he turned toward the door. "Go, then," said Henri, sighing; "my destiny is to live alone." "Quick! Du Bouchage," said Anne to his brother.
The Cardinal Francois de Joyeuse had very rapidly become a wealthy man, wealthy in the first place from his own patrimony, and then from his different benefices. At that period the Church was richly endowed very richly endowed even, and when its treasures were exhausted, it knew the sources, which at the present day are exhausted, where and whence to renew them.
He, mentioned that the Duke of Epernon's horse, taking fright at a red cloak, had backed over a precipice, breaking his own neck, while his master's shoulder merely was put out of joint. At the same time the Duke of Joyeuse, coming over Mount Cenis, on his return from Savoy, had broken his wrist.
"Non lo farò mai," was her only remark; and one of the most efficient and zealous of her ministers was carelessly cast off. Meanwhile the jealous dissensions of the nobles continued to increase, and constant quarrels took place between the Cardinal de Joyeuse, the Comte de Soissons, and the Duc d'Epernon.
