There was a moment's pause, then came Vilmorin's shrill voice. "You lie, knave! M. de Mancini is here. You are M. de Luynes's lackey, and where the one is, there shall we find the other." "M. de Luynes?" came a voice unknown to me. "That is Mancini's sword-blade of a friend, is it not? Well, why does he hide himself? Where is he? Where is your master, rascal?"
The Queen perfectly comprehended the Duchesse de Luynes's motive; but replied that she would never leave either the King or her son; that if she thought herself alone obnoxious to public hatred she would instantly offer her life as a sacrifice; but that it was the throne which was aimed at, and that, in abandoning the King, she should be merely committing an act of cowardice, since she saw no other advantage in it than that of saving her own life.

Many of Charles's letters are addressed to 'Mademoiselle Luci, SISTER of 'La Grandemain. Now Madame de Vasse seems, from a passage in the Duc de Luynes's 'Memoires, to have been the only daughter of her father, M. de Peze.
