This was Bussy d'Amboise. Maugiron, Schomberg, and Quelus had drawn near to the king. "See," said Maugiron, "here is the servant, but where is the master? Are you also in disgrace with him, St. Luc?" "Why should he follow Bussy?" said Quelus.
Do not go away again without my permission." "There is no more need," said Maugiron, who now approached, "since all is finished." "All is finished?" "Heaven be praised," said D'Epernon, appearing all at once, no one knew from whence. "Then you have killed them?" cried the king; "well, at least the dead do not return."
Livarot ran to aid Ribeirac to disengage himself from the grasp of his adversary, but was closely pursued by Maugiron, who cut open his head with a blow of his sword. Livarot let his sword drop, and fell on his knees; then Maugiron hastened to give him another wound, and he fell altogether. Quelus and Maugiron remained against Antragues. Quelus was bleeding, but from slight wounds.
But this rather served to make matters worse than better, for Maugiron and his party began to attack him with such violent speeches as would have offended any one of far less consequence.
"Corbleu!" cried Chicot, "do not be so rude to my friends, M. Bussy, for I draw the sword, though I am a king, as well as if I was a common man." "If he continue such pleasantries, I will chastise Chicot, sire," said Maugiron. "No, no, Maugiron, Chicot is a gentleman. Besides, it is not he who most deserves punishment, for it is not he who is most insolent."
"Ah! yes, I understand," said Maugiron and Schomberg. "The king wishes a boar's head for breakfast to-morrow." "With the neck dressed a l'Italienne," said Maugiron, alluding to the turn-down collar which Bussy wore in opposition to their ruffs. "Ah, ah," said D'Epernon, "I understand." "What is it?" asked D'O, "for I do not." "Ah! look round you." "Well!" "Did any one laugh at us here?"
"I propose for number one, the long square between the chestnuts; it is a fine place." "Agreed." "But the sun? one would be turned to the east." "No," said Bussy, "that is not fair;" and he proposed a new position, which was agreed to. Schomberg and Ribeirac came first. They were the first pair; Quelus and Antragues the second; then Livarot and Maugiron the third.
Marie and I and Madame Maugiron are not afraid." At which the Marquis laughed heartily. It was so amusing to think that one should be young and pretty and not afraid. In the mean time Barebone was sealing his letter to Captain Clubbe.
M. de Schomberg, who was dyed blue yesterday, as you know, since you passed during the operation; M. d'Epernon, who is yellow from the fright he had; M. de Quelus, who is red with anger; and M. de Maugiron, who is white with ennui; it is beautiful to see; not to speak of the duke, who is going green with terror, so that we shall have a perfect rainbow to delight our eyes."
I was making love, and I warn you, if your recital be not interesting I shall be very angry." "I wish to tell you that after the ball I set off for the chase." "For what chase?" "That of the wild boar." "What possesses you to go, in this cold, to be killed in some thicket?" "Never mind, I am going." "Alone?" "No, with Maugiron and Schomberg. We hunt for the king."
