She is so distrustful, and M. de Mazarin so Yon devil of an Italian is capable of having us poisoned at the first breath of suspicion." Aramis almost imperceptibly smiled. "'You know, Dame Perronnette, they are both so suspicious in all that concerns Philippe. "Philippe was the name they gave me," said the prisoner.
"'Well, said Dame Perronnette; 'and if the letter has fallen into the well, 'tis all the same as if it was burnt; and as the queen burns all her letters every time she comes "And so you see this lady who came every month was the queen," said the prisoner. "'Doubtless, doubtless, continued the old gentleman; 'but this letter contained instructions how can I follow them?
"Quite enough, monsieur, to see that my tutor was a man of noble rank, and that Perronnette, without being a lady of quality, was far better than a servant; and also to perceived that I must myself be high-born, since the queen, Anne of Austria, and Mazarin, the prime minister, commended me so earnestly to their care." Here the young man paused, quite overcome. "And what happened?" asked Aramis.

I was, then, in the hall I have spoken of, asleep from fatigue with long fencing. My preceptor was in his room on the first floor, just over me. Suddenly I heard him exclaim, and then he called: 'Perronnette!
My governor opened the door a few moments after, and thinking I was asleep gently closed it again. As soon as ever it was shut, I rose, and, listening, heard the sound of retiring footsteps. Then I returned to the shutters, and saw my tutor and Dame Perronnette go out together. I was alone in the house. They had hardly closed the gate before I sprang from the window and ran to the well.
