It should stand rather, No man can be a Grand-Monarque to his valet-de-chambre. Strip your Louis Quatorze of his king-gear, and there is left nothing but a poor forked radish with a head fantastically carved; admirable to no valet. The Valet does not know a Hero when he sees him!
Peregrine having in this manner initiated her in the beau monde of the country, conducted her to London, where she was provided with private lodgings and a female attendant; and put her immediately under the tuition of his valet-de-chambre, who had orders to instruct her in dancing, and the French language.
"How did that come in without saluting?" he thought, "and dare to anchor immediately before my house!" He rang, and a valet-de-chambre came at once, running from the row of tents which stood concealed behind the pines-trees, and where both soldiers and servants lodged. "Take five men in a boat," he ordered, "and hail that brig! Can you see what country it belongs to?" "It is Dutch, your Majesty!"
Do not return to Paris until I desire you. Take good care of my poor Campan, soothe his sorrow. Look for happier times." This note was for greater safety addressed to my father-in-law's valet-de-chambre. What were my feelings on perceiving that after the most distressing crisis we were among the first objects of the kindness of that unfortunate Princess!
Now, it was revealed to his intelligence that the professional thief, who devoted all his days and such of his nights as were spared from depredation to wine and women, was more readily detected than the valet-de-chambre, who did but crack a crib or cry 'Stand and deliver! on a proper occasion.
I began, a little later. "Monsieur, they did not seem fatigued," said Amedee. "But they dine in their own rooms to-night." "Every night, monsieur. It is the order of Professor Keredec. And with their own valet-de-chambre to serve them. Eh?" He poured my coffee solemnly. "That is mysterious, to say the least, isn't it?" "To say the very least," I agreed.
"The king?" "People generally call him so." "Is it to him that I am to go?" "Just so. You will ask to speak to him." "Will they let me?" "Yes, till you come to his valet-de-chambre. Your frock is a passport, for the king is very religious." "And what shall I say to the valet-de-chambre?" "Say you are sent by the shade." "What shade?" "Curiosity is a vice, my brother." "Pardon!"
"That will suffice," said the duke, ringing a bell. A valet-de-chambre entered. "Lafosse," said the duke, "the bay horses and the carriage without arms." "Monsieur," said Bathilde, "if you would save time, I have a hired carriage below." "That is still better. I am at your orders, mademoiselle." "Am I to go with monsieur?" asked the servant. "No, stay and help Raffe to put these papers in order.
As for the life which the unhappy monarch led in this prison, a detailed narrative of it has been published in England, by Clery, his faithful valet-de-chambre. I have not been very anxious to approach the Temple, because I concluded that, if fame was not a liar, there was no probability of my having an opportunity of seeing any part of it, except the outer wall.
On your return you cannot make a mistake. You have only to wait here till I release you." D'Artagnan was known to this valet-de-chambre, who was no other than Bernouin, and he had during the last six or eight months introduced the Gascon a dozen times to the cardinal. The Gascon, therefore, instead of answering, growled out "Ja! Ja!" in the most German and the least Gascon accent possible.
