And when she gets to Paris is she to go to the king and say, 'Here I am, your majesty'? And who is going to take her there? I can't." "My aunt Roman might," said the young lady, blushing up to her eyes at the roar of laughter which none of us could restrain. "Well," said Madame Morin, "there is Madame Varnier, of the Rue de Richelieu; she is an aunt of yours.
Don Varnier, a man of much frankness and intelligence, was my principal source of information. I asked him one day whether the king was fond of Gregorio Squillace only because he had been once his wife's lover. "That's an idle calumny," he replied. "If the epithet of 'chaste' can be applied to any monarch, Charles III. certainly deserves it better than any other.
She did not mean her death to be a punishment to her husband, but we shall see that it was so. The next day I called on Madame Varnier to give her Madame Morin's letter. I was cordially welcomed, and Madame Varnier was kind enough to say that she had rather see me than anybody else in the world; her niece had told her such strange things about me that she had got quite curious.
"I am delighted to hear you say so." "I am going to Paris and I hope you will give me a letter of introduction to Madame Varnier, so that I may have the pleasure of seeing your niece." "You shall have the letter to-morrow without fail." I introduced Mdlle. Desarmoises to her under the family name of her lover, and invited her to dine with Madame Morin and myself.

She wrote her a note, and put Madame Morin's letter under the same envelope. "If you want to know what my niece's answer is," said Madame Varnier, "you must dine with me."
How wonderfully did all he had heard explain the dream at the Castle, and how completely did that supply what had remained doubtful, or had been omitted in the officers' narrative. Emily Varnier, doubtless, possessed that ring, to gain possession of which now seemed his bounden duty.

I got into my carriage and went to Varnier, who said he wanted to speak to me. "Come into my carriage," said I, "we will go and hear mass together." On our way he told me that the Venetian ambassador, Mocenigo, had warned the Duke of Medina Sidonia that I was a dangerous character.
