We have had few Queens in France who have been really happy. Marie de Medicis died in exile. The mother of the King and of the late Monsieur was unhappy as long as her husband was alive. Our Queen Marie-Therese said upon her death-bed, "that from the time of her becoming Queen she had not had a day of real happiness."
"Is that the villa which I see from here, standing in its own grounds?" "Yes, the Villa Marie-Therese; and as the two others, with the gardens touching it on either side, have been unoccupied since this day week, we shall be able to remove what we please at our leisure; and I swear to you, governor, it's well worth while." "The job's much too simple," mumbled Lupin. "No charm about it!"
Mercy to Marie-Thérèse, August 4th, 1770; "Correspondance secrète entre Marie-Thérèse et la Comte de Mercy Argenteau, avec des Lettres de Marie-Thérèse et Marie Antoinette," par M. le Chevalier Alfred d'Arneth, i., p. 29. For the sake of brevity, this Collection will be hereafter referred to as "Arneth." "The King of France is both hated and despised, which seldom happens to the same man."
He studied the business, took the lead and finally organized the Enghien expedition and, under your direction, the burglary at the Villa Marie-Therese, which Prasville and his detectives had been unable to search thoroughly, because of the active watch maintained by Leonard the valet. It was a mad scheme.
Prasville leapt from his chair, looking absolutely dumbfounded: "The pardon of Gilbert and Vaucheray? Of Arsene Lupin's accomplices?" "Yes," she said. "The murderers of the Villa Marie-Therese? The two who are due to die to-morrow?" "Yes, those two," she said, in a loud voice. "I ask? I demand their pardon." "But this is madness! Why? Why should you?"
If she believed in me I did not care whether the others believed or not. I was going to begin with Lake George, the mountain, and the fog, and Bellenger's fear of me, and his rage when Louis Philippe told him the larger portion of the money sent from Europe was given to me. Facing Marie-Therese, therefore, instead of the Abbé Edgeworth, I spoke her name. She looked up once more.
His one and only diversion from the search was to go to Enghien, where the Growler and the Masher lived, and make sure that nothing had been seen of them since the murder at the Villa Marie-Therese. Apart from this, he applied himself to the question of Daubrecq and nothing else.

He had tasted royalty. It was not as good as he had once thought. Beside him always, he saw the face of Marie-Therese. She never forgot the hushed mystery of her brother. Her silence and obedience to the crown, her loyalty to juggling and evasion, were more powerful than resistance.
Marie-Therese Blanc, nee Solms for this is the name of the author who writes under the nom de plume of Madame Bentzon is considered the greatest of living French female novelists. This chateau was owned by Madame Bentzon's grandmother, the Marquise de Vitry, who was a woman of great force and energy of character, "a ministering angel" to her country neighborhood.
