"Mordieu! you are an absolute set of fools," cried the minister, darting out of the carriage; and before the subaltern had time to shut the gate, Fouquet sprang through it, and ran forward in spite of the soldier, who cried out for assistance.
"Well, Monseigneur," continued Aurilly, "do you not think it will be more prudent to go home?" "Mordieu! yet it is annoying to give up." "Yes; but it can be put off. I told your highness that the house is taken for a year; we know the lady lodges on the first story. We have gained her maid, and have a key which opens the door: you may wait safely." "You are sure that the door yielded?"
"Oh, sir, you have no right. Mr. Boyce would never endure you should treat me so." "Dieu de dieu! Would you trade upon Harry's gentleness now? Aye, madame, he would not treat you so, mordieu. He would see nothing, know nothing, believe nothing. And let you make a mock of him again. But if you please, I stand between him and you." "You have no right," Alison muttered.
"They have left him his sword." "Mordieu! he commands." "Our people! There has been treason." "Oh! madame; they are not our people." "You are mad, Mayneville!" But at that moment De Loignac, at the head of the first body of guards, cried, brandishing his large sword, "Vive le Roi!" "Vive le Roi!" replied enthusiastically all the Forty-five, with their Gascon accent.
And see that you kill him, Bardelys!" he continued viciously. "For, by the Mass, if you don't, I will! If he escapes your sword, or if he survives such hurt as you may do him, the headsman shall have him. Mordieu! is it for nothing that I am called Louis the Just?" I stood in thought for a moment. Then
I cried, suddenly aware of it. "Mordieu, how he is like, though he is light! In face, in voice, in manner! He speaks like Monsieur. He has Monsieur's laugh. I was blind not to see it. I believe that was why I loved him so much." "It was he whom you would not betray?" "Aye. That was before I knew." Thinking of the trust I had given him, my wrath boiled up again.
Mordieu! he was Henry's, fast and sure, save that he was not man enough to say so. I told Mayenne last month we ought to settle with M. de St. Quentin; I asked nothing better than to attend to him. But the general would not, but let him alone, free and unmolested in his work of stirring up sedition. And Mar, too " He stopped in the middle of a word.
"Well, do not go, but hide near your house; then, believing you gone, the man you wish to know will come; the rest concerns yourself: I engage for no more." "Ah! if that be so " "You have my word." "I have better than that, I have your signature." "Oh, yes, mordieu! I know that." Aurilly touched D'Epernon's arm and said, "It is done; Bussy will not fight to-morrow." "Not fight!"
But the thing was offered us, and we could not show the white feather. Bien, His Majesty took assurance from Marlborough of your safety, so I had no great alarm for you. I could not be aware of your private feuds. But now, mordieu, I make them my own. I promise you, it touches me nearly that you should be hacked down, and egad, before my eyes."
"Mordieu! sire, what quantities of money these burghers have!" whispered de Gondi in his ear. The young king laughed. "As their Highnesses are so kind," said old Lecamus, "will they permit me to present to them my successor, and ask them to continue to him the royal patent of furrier to their Majesties?" "Let us see him," said the king. Lecamus led forward his successor, who was livid with fear.
