I beg Monseigneur's pardon; but I had an invitation to a wedding, and I did not carry out the Count's instructions until this morning. But, as Monseigneur was not at home, I took the train to Maisons-Lafitte.
"Very good; then take this," said the valet, ridding his shoulder of the trunk, which Pierrotin lifted, weighed, and examined. "Here," he said to his porter, "wrap it up carefully in soft hay and put it in the boot. There's no name upon it," he added. "Monseigneur's arms are there," replied the valet. "Monseigneur!
It is who shall prejudice a fellow-priest in order to supplant him, or play the zealot in Monseigneur's presence. When I was the Bishop's secretary, hardly a day passed without my being witness to some shameful piece of tale bearing. You must weigh all your words, cover your looks and have a care even of your gestures.
What if, when I had killed their leader, they made the place too hot for me, Monseigneur's commission notwithstanding? I should look silly, indeed, if on the eve of success I were driven from the place by a parcel of jack-boots. I liked the thought so little that I hesitated. Yet it seemed too late to retreat.
Such inscriptions are a bond to bind us, and if no mischance befall, these trees, as I hope, will survive me. I am, madame, etc., MAINTENON. Mademoiselle d'Amurande. The Married Nun.

I looked at him with new eyes, and a sort of wonder: and had scarcely time to compose my face, when, the paroxysm of his fury spent, he rose, and looking at me askance, to see how I took his actions, he asked me sullenly whither I was going. "To Monseigneur's," I said cunningly: had I answered, "To the Palais Royal," he would have suspected me. "To the Bishop's?" "Where else?"
"And you, my child, what do you do?" "I, Monsieur l'Abbe! Oh! I am no great help. Since last year, when I came home cured, I have not been left quiet a single day, for, as you can understand, so many people have come to see me, and then too I have been taken to Monseigneur's,* and to the convents and all manner of other places.

Penitence and anguish of Louise de la Vallière. Takes leave of her children and the queen. Again at the convent. Faithfulness to duty. Marriage of the Duchess of Orleans with the King of Spain. The Countess de Soissons. Character of the dauphin. Monseigneur's indifference. Françoise d'Aubigné. Her apparent death and recovery. Françoise a Protestant. Persecutions in consequence.
It was seldom that Monseigneur visited Meudon without Madame la Duchesse de Bourgogne going to see him. And yet M. de Vendome never failed audaciously to present himself before her, as if to make her feel that at all events in Monseigneur's house he was a match for her. Guided by former experience, the Princess gently suffered this in silence, and watched her opportunity. It soon came.
