If it had not been for the boy there " and he glanced at Manuel, "I should certainly have fulfilled my intention." "And then there would have been no Abbe Vergniaud, and no 'Gys Grandit," said the Princesse lightly, endeavouring to change the sombre tone of the conversation, "and the 'Christian Democratic' party would have been in sackcloth and ashes!"
They were met by the Princesse Sophie, the King's aunt, who was thrilled with horror at the sight, and entreated the King to have the audacious, fellows driven out of the procession, which was then drawing up on the terrace. The 'dames de la halle' came to congratulate the Queen, and were received with the suitable ceremonies.
And it would be unreasonable to complain that "La Dame aux Camélias" is really something quite different, something much inferior; here we have at least a great emotion, a desperate sincerity, with all the thoughtfulness which can possibly accompany passion. Dumas, in a preface better than his play, tells us that "La Princesse Georges" is "a Soul in conflict with Instincts."
He comports himself well; he is worthy of her in my eyes, but not so in the eyes of Europe. He must rise yet higher. The Princesse de Mantua can not, may not, marry less than a prince. He must become one. By myself I can do nothing; I am not the Queen, I am the neglected wife of the King. There is only the Cardinal, the eternal Cardinal, and he is his enemy; and perhaps this disturbance "
As soon as the Queen was in bed, she wished to see the long-looked-for infant. The Princesse de Guemenee brought him to her. The Queen said there was no need for commending him to the Princess, but in order to enable her to attend to him more freely, she would herself share the care of the education of her daughter.
The couple were apart in eighteen months, and after ten years they never even saw each other again. About the time when Sophie's husband found her out and departed the Princesse died. The Prince was advised to marry again, on the chance that an heir might be born to the large fortune he possessed.
The comte Jean, who had witnessed it, and my sisters-in-law, who learnt it from him, were enraged. I was compelled to complain to the king, who instantly sent the princesse de Guemenee an order to quit Marly forthwith, and betake herself to the princesse de Marsan, gouvernante of the children of the royal family of France, of whose post she had the reversion.
The sombre reply of Cinq-Mars; his arrest; his trial all had been concealed from the Princesse Marie, whose first fault, it is true, had been a movement of self-love and a momentary forgetfulness.
Madame la Princesse de Rohan-Soubise had wished to supplant me at that time, and I was aware of her constant desire to obtain a fine post at Court. She loved the King, who had shown her his favours in more than one circumstance; but, as she had a place neither in his esteem nor in his affection, I did not fear her.
He may have thought as was long afterwards alleged that the threat itself should be sufficient, for there was at that time no power in Europe that could have stood against his armies in the field. On that they parted, with a final injunction from Sully that Henry should see the Princesse de Conde no more.
