On the side of the chapel is a slab to the memory of Count Zinzendorf, who died in 1760. The original house was built by Theodore Turquet de Mayerne, some time before the middle of the seventeenth century. De Mayerne was Court physician to Henry IV. and Louis XIII. of France. About twenty years later it was bought by Montague Bertie, second Earl of Lindsey, whose son rebuilt or altered it largely.
Thaddeus now went to the Circus and saw her again. The following day Paz went to the faubourg du Temple, found the house, and asked to see Mademoiselle Turquet, who during the summer was substituting for the leading horsewoman at the Cirque-Olympique, and a supernumerary at a boulevard theatre in winter. "Malaga!" cried the portress, rushing into the attic, "there's a fine gentleman wanting you.
"Let all else withdraw a few paces," said Hugh Calveley, "and do thou, O King, approach me. What I have to say is for thine ear alone." "There will be no danger in granting his request?" inquired James of his physician. "None whatever," replied Doctor Mayerne Turquet. "The only danger is in delay. Your Majesty should lose no time. The man is passing rapidly away.
"If the claim be not made within a year after my death, she is discharged from it," replied Hugh Calveley. "O, thanks, father, thanks!" exclaimed Aveline. At this moment the door of the vault was thrown open, and two persons entered, the foremost of whom Sir Jocelyn instantly recognised as the King. The other was his Majesty's physician, Doctor Mayerne Turquet.
Anne was, on her husband's side, slightly related to the new Queen of Prussia, wife of the king with the hundred chamberlains. She had her portrait painted on enamel, after the process of Turquet of Mayerne. This Queen of Prussia had also a younger illegitimate sister, the Baroness Drika. One day, in the presence of Barkilphedro, Anne asked the Russian ambassador some question about this Drika.
Marguerite Turquet, the Aspasia of the Cirque-Olympique, is one of those frank, very living personalities to whom all is forgiven, such unconscious sinners are they, such intelligent penitents; of such as Malaga one might ask, like Cardot a witty man enough, albeit a notary to be well "deceived." And yet you must not think that any enormities were committed.
Valentinian, a Tragedy; afterwards revived and altered by the Earl of Rochester. A Wife for a Month, a Tragedy; for the plot see Mariana and Louis de Mayerne Turquet, History of Sancho, the eighth King of Leon. The Wild-Goose Chace, a Comedy, formerly acted with applause. Wit at Several Weapons, a Comedy.
"Well, that's a stiff one!" said Marguerite Turquet, looking at Madame Chapuzot; "I'm half afraid he is wheedling me, to carry out some fancy of his own Pooh! I'll risk it." A month after this eccentric interview the circus-rider was living in a comfortable apartment furnished by Comte Adam's own upholsterer, Paz having judged it desirable to have his folly talked about at the hotel Laginski.
A eulogistic quatrain is signed Nature quite, which, it is generally agreed, is an anagram of Jean Turquet. Did the adapter of the fifth book sign his work in this indirect fashion? He might be of the Genevese family to whom Louis Turquet and his son Theodore belonged, both well-known, and both strong Protestants.
Stay here with me, M'ame Chapuzot; I don't want him to think I'm deserted." "Who is it you are looking for, monsieur?" asked Madame Chapuzot, opening the door for Thaddeus, who had now come upstairs. "Mademoiselle Turquet." "My dear," said the portress, with an air of importance, "here is some one to see you." A line on which the clothes were drying caught the captain's hat and knocked it off.
