Who told the Keeper of the Seals where you were to be found?" "Oh, that?" I answered easily. "Why, I never doubted it. It was the coxcomb Saint-Eustache. I whipped him " I stopped short. There was something in Marsac's black face, something in his glance, that forced the unspoken truth upon my mind. "Mother in heaven!" I cried. "Do you mean that it was Mademoiselle de Lavedan?"
'He does want something. But he seems not undeserving. What does he pray, Rambouillet? 'A small command, M. de Rambouillet answered, readily playing his part. 'And your Majesty would oblige me if you could grant the Sieur de Marsac's petition. I will answer for it he is a man of experience. 'Chut! A small command? Henry ejaculated, sitting down suddenly in apparent ill-humour.
Thus ended that angry, fire-breathing epistle. I refolded it thoughtfully, then, having taken my resolve, I leapt from the bed and desired Anatole to assist me to dress. I found the Vicomte much exercised in mind as to the meaning of Marsac's extraordinary behaviour, and I was relieved to see that he, at least, could conjecture no cause for it.
From my clothes they took the letters addressed to Lesperon which that poor gentleman had entrusted to me on the night of his death; and among these there was one from the Duc d'Orleans himself, which would alone have sufficed to have hanged a regiment. Besides these, they took Monsieur de Marsac's letter of two days ago, and the locket containing the picture of Mademoiselle de Marsac.
"Monsieur le Vicomte," said I gravely, "I heartily deplore that Monsieur de Marsac's affairs should have detained me here. But for him, I had left Lavedan two days ago. As it is, I tremble for you, but we may at least hope that my being taken in your house will draw down no ill results upon you.
M. Loisel leaned over and kissed her on the crown of her head where the parting shone white as the moon at its full. Lips and rosy mouths were left for lovers in those days. "And you will make him understand?" "I will do my best. No one can force a damsel into marriage nowadays." Opposition heightened Louis Marsac's desires. Then he generally had his way with women.
'Who has not? he said, laughing with his lips, though his eyes were far from merry. 'The Sieur de Marsac's appointment! Ha! ha! Why, man 'Enough of it now! I exclaimed. And I dare say I writhed on my seat. 'As far as I am concerned the jest is a stale one, sir, and does not amuse me. 'But it amuses me, he rejoined with a grin.
"Are they Americans?" she asked, her idea of Americans being that they were a sort of conglomerate. "No Spaniards, Portuguese, from the other side of the world. There are many strange peoples." Louis Marsac's knowledge was extremely limited, as education had not made much of an advance among ordinary people.
