"I reserve as my last communication, in reply to your questions, that which is the gravest. You say that you saw in the public journals brief notice of the assassination of Victor de Mauleon; and you ask for such authentic particulars as I can give of that event, and of the motives of the assassin.
The barons of Brittany and of Berry had been summoned to meet him at Tours, but the only allies who did meet him there were three of the Lusignans and Savaric de Mauléon, with some three hundred knights.
I hoped in this way to learn the name of the young traveller, and I was not disappointed. I soon saw the corpulent Monsieur de Mauleon busily writing his name upon the register in characters worthy of Monsieur Prudhomme; the other members of the little party followed his example. The young woman was the last to write down her name.
Rameau approaching his chair to Isaura's then commenced conversation, drily enough, upon pecuniary matters; acquitting himself of the mission with which De Mauleon had charged him, the request for a new work from her pen for the Sens Commun, and the terms that ought to be asked for compliance. The young lady-author shrank from this talk.
De Mauldon has had experience and won distinction in actual service, and from all I hear is doing wonders with his men has got them not only to keep but to love drill. I heard no less an authority than General V say that if all the officers of the National Guard were like De Mauleon, that body would give an example of discipline to the line."
The Universal Jubilee. Court Preachers. King David. Madame de Montespan is Obliged to go to Clagny. Bossuet's Mission. Mademoiselle de Mauleon. An Enemy's Good Faith. I do not desire to hold up to ridicule the rites of that religion in which I was born and bred. Neither would I disparage its ancient usages, nor its far more modern laws.
Fiery young creature though she was true De Mauleon in being so fiery she interested me strongly. I should say that she was wonderfully handsome; and though imperfectly educated, and brought up in circumstances so lowly, there was nothing common about her a certain je ne sais quoi of stateliness and race. At all events she did with me what she wished.
Monsieur de Mauleon shrugged his shoulders. "The old story Troy and the wooden horse." "Tell me, M. de Mauleon, why do you, who so despise the Opposition, join with it in opposing the Empire?"
"Before the end of the evening, I recognized the correctness of Casorans's information. Among all the gentlemen present I found only two professed admirers: Monsieur de Mauleon, whose insignificance was notorious, and Monsieur d'Arzenac, who appeared at first glance as if he might be more to be feared.
The French army met at Tours on June 24, 1224, and marched through Thouars to La Rochelle, the strongest of the Poitevin towns, and the most devoted to England. On the way Louis forced Savary de Mauléon to yield up Niort, and to promise to defend no other place than La Rochelle, before which city he sat down on July 15. At first Savary resisted vigorously.
