"To get rid of her husband for her." "You will do that?" "You shall see. Meanwhile I will pay a visit to Meridor." "You will dare?" "Why not?" "You will present yourself before the old baron, whom you abandoned after promising me " "I have an excellent excuse to give him." "Where the devil will you find it?" "Oh!
"Yes, I am pretty well satisfied, but I missed some one." "Who?" "Your protege, the Baron de Meridor." Bussy changed color. "And yet we must not neglect him," continued the duke, "he is influential here." "You think so?" "I am sure of it. He was the correspondent of the League at Angers, chosen by M. de Guise, and the Guises choose their men well. He must come, Bussy." "But if he does not come?"
All passed me like a tempest, and disappeared in the forest. I was in despair, but I ran on once more and followed a path which I knew led to the castle of Beauge. belonging to the Duc d'Anjou, and which was about six miles from the castle of Meridor. It was not till I arrived there that I remembered that I was alone, and far from home.
Bussy was filled with astonishment, asking himself by what singular happiness he found on the road people to talk to him of Diana de Meridor to echo the only thought which he had in his mind. "Is this castle far off, madame?" asked he. "About seven leagues, and we shall sleep there to-night; you will come, will you not?" "Yes, madame."
"My excuse is," continued he, "that I loved Mademoiselle de Meridor ardently." "I, also," replied Francois, with dignity. "It is true, monseigneur; but she did not love you." "And she loved you?" "Perhaps." "You lie! you know you lie! You used force as I did; only I, the master, failed, while you, the servant, succeeded by treason." "Monseigneur, I loved her." "What do I care?"
She went on: "Scarcely had we touched the shore, when seven or eight men ran to us. They were the count's people, and I thought I recognized among them the two men who had escorted me when I left Meridor. A squire held two horses, a black one for the count and a white one for me. The count helped me to mount, and then jumped on his own horse.
Look, M. de Bussy, through that great leafless wood, which in a month, will be so beautiful; do you not see the roof?" "Yes," said Bussy, with an emotion which astonished himself; "and is that the chateau of Meridor?" And he thought of the poor prisoner shut up in the Rue St. Antoine. Two hours after they reached the castle.
"What is the matter?" said Remy; "you look so pale, I believe you are really ill." "Do you know where he is going?" "No." "To Meridor." "Well, did you hope he would not?" "Mon Dieu! what will happen, after what he saw yesterday?" "Madame de Monsoreau will deny everything." "But he saw her." "She will say he did not." "She will never have the courage."
Now my friendship consists of three things, my purse, my sword, and my life. Now, what about Diana?" "I wished to ask if you were not coming to Meridor." "My dear friend, I thank you, but you know my scruples." "I know all.
"By a passion, madame." "I will cure you." "I do not believe it." "I will marry you." "I doubt it." "And I will make you as happy as you ought to be." "Alas! madame, my only happiness now is to be unhappy." "I am very determined." "And I also." "Well, will you accompany us?" "Where are you going?" "To the chateau of Meridor."
