It was remarked that at the threshold of the door, his majesty, freed from every restraint, or not equal to the situation, sighed very deeply. The ladies present for nothing escapes a woman's glance Mademoiselle Montalais, for instance did not fail to say to each other, "the king sighed," and "Madame sighed too." This had been indeed the case.
"Ah, Montalais, laughter-loving Montalais!" cried La Valliere; "you see you are sighing again; the woods inspire you, and you are almost reasonable this evening." "You ought not, either of you," said Athenais, "to regret the court at Blois so much, unless you do not feel happy with us.
I don't say that any one would ever venture to go up a ladder into Madame's room; but in Madame's cabinet, merely separated by a partition, sleep two exceedingly pretty girls, Mesdemoiselles de la Valliere and de Montalais." "By a partition?" said Manicamp. "Look; you see how brilliantly lighted Madame's apartments are well, do you see those two windows?" "Yes."
Looking down at him from her place at the wheel, Madame de Montalais added: "It would be an act of charity, I think, monsieur, if it does not inconvenience you too greatly." "On the contrary," he fabricated without blushing, "you will be obliging a weary man by putting him several miles on his way." He had no cause to regret his complaisance.
"Not as far as concerns yourself, perhaps, but as far as I am concerned, Mademoiselle Montalais, you know very well that I have left my home, and that, for the future, I have no other place of residence than that which you may happen to have. As you, therefore, are staying at Fontainebleau at the present moment, I have come to Fontainebleau." Montalais shrugged her shoulders.
Do you not remember, Montalais, the woods of Cheverny and of Chambord, the innumerable rustling poplars of Blois, where we exchanged our mutual hopes?" "And confidences too?" "Yes." "Well," said Mademoiselle de Tonnay-Charente, "I also think a good deal; but I take care "
This is how it happens, dearest, that I have no lodging." "Who can this Franciscan be?" said Montalais. "Is he a general?" "That is exactly the very title that one of the bearers of the litter gave him as he spoke to him in a low tone." "So that " said Montalais.
"There is no doubt that fellow has more invention than I have," said Saint-Aignan, as if compelled by his conviction to admit it. The revelation we have witnessed, that Montalais made to La Valliere, in a preceding chapter, very naturally makes us return to the principal hero of this tale, a poor wandering knight, roving about at the king's caprice.
"No, no!" she said, as she fell into Montalais's arms, murmuring, "Do not touch me, do not come near me." Montalais made a sign to Raoul, who stood almost petrified at the door, and did not even attempt to advance another step into the room. Then, looking towards the side of the room where the screen was, she exclaimed: "Imprudent girl, she has not even closed the trap-door."
"Well, then, tell me, what do you wish, what do you require, what do you insist upon?" said Montalais, in a submissive tone. "Do you mean to tell me that you did not know I was at Fontainebleau?" "Nay, be frank." "I suspected so." "Well, then, could you not have contrived during the last week to have seen me once a day, at least?" "I have always been prevented, M. Malicorne." "Fiddlesticks!"
