"Come in, my reverend father," said Mazarin, after a last look at the ruelle, "come in and console me." "That is my duty, my lord," replied the Theatin. "Begin by sitting down, and making yourself comfortable, for I am going to begin with a general confession, you will afterwards give me a good absolution, and I shall believe myself more tranquil."
"In ten years that is twenty millions and twenty millions put out at fifty per cent. give, by progression, twenty-three millions in ten years." "How well you reckon for a Theatin!" "Since your eminence placed our order in the convent we occupy, near St. Germain des Pres, in 1644, I have kept the accounts of the society." "And mine likewise, apparently, father."
Having discovered the name of her confessor, the Queen herself went in disguise to the Theatin Church, flung herself into the confessional where this man officiated, and promised him the sum of thirty thousand francs for their new church if he would help her to save the King.
Immediately he accosted them, presented his compliments, and invited them to his inn to eat some macaroni, with Lombard partridges, and caviare, and to drink some Montepulciano, Lachrymæ Christi, Cyprus and Samos wine.

"The mercy of God is great," snuffled the Theatin.

Colbert bowed and went into the ruelle. "Introduce the Theatin father," said Mazarin, closing the curtains. The Theatin entered deliberately, without being too much astonished at the noise and agitation which anxiety for the cardinal's health had raised in his household. "Come in, my reverend father," said Mazarin, after a last look at the ruelle, "come in and console me."
The country is very rich, and the city of Canton well supplied, although there is nothing to be said in regard to its buildings, of which the whole city possesses few of any importance, according to the information received from a Theatin Sangley with whom I found much pleasure in talking though I was able to do so for only one afternoon.
"Do you use that word ironically, and to reproach me with all the genealogies I have allowed to be made on my account I the son of a fisherman, in fact?" * * This is quite untranslatable it being a play upon the words pecheur, a sinner, and pecheur, a fisherman. It is in very bad taste. "Hum!" said the Theatin.
