He took it up in a tone so cold and embarrassed, that if they had been thus surprised, the whole court would have no doubt about the proceedings of Mademoiselle de Montalais. "Ah! monsieur," said she with disdain, "what you are doing is very unworthy of a gentleman.
Montalais, however, hurried to her assistance. "Well, monsieur le vicomte, here we are, you see." "I do, indeed, see you," said Raoul smiling, "and it is exactly because you are here that I wish to ask for some explanation." Malicorne approached the group with his most fascinating smile. "Go away, Malicorne; really you are exceedingly indiscreet."
It is our excellent mother. M. le Vicomte, what a pity it is the window looks upon a stone pavement, and that fifty paces below it." Raoul glanced at the balcony in despair. Louise seized his arm and held it tight. "Oh, how silly I am!" said Montalais; "have I not the robe-of-ceremony closet? It looks as if it were made on purpose."
"Well! we will endeavor to obey you, mademoiselle." "And you will have her named?" "We will try." "No evasive answers. Louise de la Valliere shall be maid of honor to Madame Henrietta within a week." "How you talk!" "Within a week, or else " "Well! or else?" "You may take back your brevet, Monsieur Malicorne; I will not leave my friend." "Dear Montalais!" "That is right.
Suddenly the door opened, and one of the musketeers, approaching D'Artagnan, said, "Captain, Mademoiselle de Montalais is here, and wishes to speak to you." "To me?" murmured D'Artagnan. "Ask her to come in; I shall soon see," he said to himself, "whether she wishes to speak to me or not."
The landlord of the auberge, a surly sot, who had supplied the barouche with the man to act as driver and guide in one, took with ill grace the charge that his employee had been in league with the bandits. But this was true on the word of Madame de Montalais; it was their guide, she said, whom Duchemin had driven over the cliff.
"And who is Mademoiselle de Montalais?" "A young lady I did not know before, whom I had never seen. She is maid of honor to Madame." "Monsieur le vicomte, I will push my interrogatory no further, and reproach myself with having carried it so far. I had desired you to avoid Mademoiselle de la Valliere, and not to see her without my permission.
"You will not long remain in favor," said Montalais; "it is not here as it was at Blois, where we told the dowager Madame all our little annoyances, and all our longings. There were certain days when Madame remembered that she herself had been young, and, on those days, whoever talked with her found in her a sincere friend.
"Remember your promise.... But you seem to think it easy to put it over on us, mademoiselle, the skipper and me." "But I assure you I have never had any such thought." "Then why this funny story of yours told with a straight face, too! about wanting to get hold of the Montalais loot simply to slip it back to its owner?"
He avoided saying a word in reply, therefore; and, as De Wardes once more looked at him interrogatively, he replied, by a movement of the head, that it would be best to let things remain as they were. The two adversaries consequently set off, and left the chateau by the same gate, close to which we may remember to have seen Montalais and Malicorne together.
