He was furious because M. de Mar had been before his face and he had not known it. He felt he had been made a mock of. He raged against me I never knew he could be so angry. He said the Spanish envoy was too good for me; I should marry Paul de Lorraine to-morrow." "Mordieu, mademoiselle!" "That was not it. I had borne that!" she cried. "Mayhap I deserved it.
"Mordieu!" he muttered as he glanced at mademoiselle, "I do not envy your task. Upon my soul, I am glad that Jean de Paradis won her mother's hand and not I!" And then in an altered manner: "I have your word to do all that man can for her safety?" "I have said so, monsieur." There was a little silence, and he stretched out a lean hand.
Besides, in your plans you forget M. le Duc d'Anjou, who will claim the crown." "Let him claim, mordieu!" said Mayenne; "he shall be comprised in his brother's act of abdication. He is in connection with the Huguenots, and is unworthy to reign." "Are you sure of that?" "Pardieu! did he not escape from the Louvre by the aid of the King of Navarre?" "Well?"
He studied the face before him, a face of gay challenge, and said, at length, not quite confidently himself: "You speak with a confidence, St. Quentin." "Why, to be sure." Mayenne jumped heavily to his feet. "What mean you?" "I mean that mademoiselle's marrying is in my hands. Where is your ward, M. de Mayenne?" "Mordieu! Have you found her?" "You speak sooth." "In your hôtel "
"What does that matter to you?" "I wish to know; I am curious to-day." "I was going to Manasses." "A Jew?" "You go to Ruggieri, a poisoner." "I go where I like: I am the king. Besides, as I said, Bussy was the aggressor." "Where?" "At St. Luc's ball." "Bussy provoked five men? No, no, he is brave, but he is not mad." "Par la mordieu! I tell you I heard him.
"Now, gentlemen," said the prince to the others, "give your names to M. de Mayenne, grand Master of France, and the day when I ascend the throne, you shall have the cordon bleu." "Mordieu!" thought Chicot, "what a pity I cannot give mine; I shall never have such another opportunity." "Now to the altar, sire," said the cardinal.
"Par la mordieu!" said the king, with a self-satisfied expression, "some seven years ago I knew the superior of that convent, who was an exceedingly beautiful woman." "Well, sire, it may perhaps be the very one." "I cannot say; since that time, I too, Joyeuse, have assumed religious vows myself, or nearly so, indeed."
It was evident that the individual in the hole had taken off successively all the loose clothing which increased his size; and yet, like Gorenflot, he was making useless efforts to get through. "Mordieu! ventrebleu! sangdien!" cried a stifled voice. "I would rather pass through the midst of the guards.
God knows that if he were upright before me I would kill him with all my heart; but as he is now, helpless and three parts dead, it would be an infamy." "Help!" murmured Monsoreau, "I am dying." "Mordieu!" thought Remy, "my position is embarrassing. I am a doctor, and, as such, bound to succor my fellow-creatures when they suffer.
He was armed, and they were not, but they overbore him and locked him up in the closet." "Mordieu, mademoiselle! I was to rescue M. de Mar for your sake, but now I will do it for his own. I find him much to my liking. He came away clear, mademoiselle?" "Aye, to be seized in the street by the governor's men. When M. de Mayenne found how he had been tricked, Sire, he blazed with rage."
