You are behind-hand ten minutes by the watch with the Cardinal de la Vallette, who has just shaken hands with Rochefort and the gentlemen of the late Comte de Soissons, whom I shall regret as long as I live." "Monsieur de Gondi, I understand you; is it a challenge with which you honor me?"
The lady of the robes, Madame de Lucay, was succeeded by Madame La Vallette, so gloriously known afterwards by her devotion to her husband. There were also twelve Italian ladies-in-waiting. These ladies served in turn one month each, there being thus two French and one Italian lady on duty together.
