"Oh! monseigneur," said Chicot, "are not these enemies who have heard of your chase, and wish to oppose it?" "No, my son, you are wrong; they are friends from Puzmirol." "Mordieu! sire, you will have more men in your escort than trees in your forest."
"Mordieu! what charming impudence!" said she, her large eyes glowing thoughtfully, with some look of surprise. "You do not know me, m'sieur. I have kept many secrets and know the trick." "Ah, then I shall ask of you a great favor," said I "that you keep my secret also, that you do not tell her of my love." She wheeled her horse with a merry peal of laughter, hiding her face, now red as her glove.
"Mordieu!" exclaimed the abbe, the first one to speak, "run M. Colbert through the body." "Monseigneur," said Pellisson, "you must speak to his majesty." "The king, my dear Pellisson, himself signed the order for the execution." "Well!" said the Comte de Chanost, "the execution must not take place, then; that is all." "Impossible," said Gourville, "unless we could corrupt the jailers."
I was so choked with laughter as to make it hard work to explain what was it, while his first bewilderment changed to an amazed interest, which in its turn gave way, not to delight, but to distress. "Mordieu!" he cried, starting up, his face ablaze, "if I resemble that dirt " "As chalk and cheese," I said. "No one seeing you both could possibly mistake you for two of the same race.
"Keep still; mordieu! you shake the king's chair. Mort de ma vie, your wife will be quite happy with the prince to talk to, and M. Aurilly to play the lute to her." Monsoreau trembled with anger. "Quietly, monsieur," continued Chicot; "hide your joy, here is the business beginning; you should not show your feelings so openly; listen to the discourse of the king."
"He is not so harmless as you would lead one to suppose, mademoiselle," the duke retorted. "Since you have been eavesdropping, you have heard how he upset your cousin Paul's arrangements." "For that you should be thankful to him, monsieur. He has saved you the stain of a cowardly crime." "Mordieu!" Mayenne exclaimed, "who foully murdered my brother?" "The Valois." "And his henchman, St. Quentin."
Devil take you, I have a mind to finish you now, a wounded man as you are." He had his hand on his sword. "Will you go, sir?" "Not I. If you ha' murdered him, you" he slapped his sword home again "no, mordieu, I can't touch you so. And you may meddle with me if you dare." "Oh, you have a great devotion to the boy," Colonel Boyce sneered with pallid lips.
"Now I come to your father, mon enfant, and I promise you I will be as delicate as I may. Do you know, par exemple, how Colonel Boyce is in the mouths of gentlemen?" "Oh, sir, that's another of the matters for which I care nothing." "Tenez donc. You were born old, I think. Well, Colonel Boyce has been in some few plots, devices, and manoeuvres. No man ever denied him wit, nor will I, mordieu.
But on this occasion he appeared moved by the Italian song, and twisted his moustache, which was always with him a sign of embarrassment and distress. He even omitted a rough sound something like a laugh, and said: "Pretty enough, 'mordieu! that recalls to my mind the siege of Casal; but be silent, little one. I have not yet heard the Abbe Quillet come. This troubles me.
He shook his head, his eyes on his father' face. "Étienne," Monsieur said slowly, "can't you see that Mlle. de Montluc is not for you?" "I shall never see it, Monsieur. The first article in my creed says she is for me. And I'll have her yet, for all Mayenne." "Then, mordieu, we'll steal her together!" "You! You'll help me?"
