"Be easy; Montresor is coming with a hundred of Monsieur's gentlemen. You will recognize him; he will be disguised as a master-mason, with a rule in his hand. But, above all, do not forget the passwords. Do you know them all well, you and your friends?" "Yes, all except the Abbe de Gondi, who has not yet arrived; but 'Dieu me pardonne', I think he is there himself!
"'Well, Rose, you know why you have come here? 'I can guess it, Madame. 'Very good, my girl ... and that will not ... be too much bother for you? 'Oh! madame, this will be the eighth divorce that I shall have caused; I am used to it. 'Why, that is capital. Will it take you long to succeed? 'Oh! Madame, that depends entirely on Monsieur's temperament.
"As for me, I 'll march with the army. I feel perfectly recovered; my arm " "Oh! as for monsieur's arms," said mademoiselle, "I'll answer for it, they are quite at his Majesty's service." "Indeed!" said the doctor, knowingly; "I thought it would come to that. Well, well, Mademoiselle, don't look saucy; let us part good friends for once in our lives."
I know not to what the presence of the Cossacks is to be attributed, but it was an awkward circumstance at the time, and one which malevolence did not fail to seize upon. Two days only intervened between Monsieur's entrance into Paris and the arrival of the Emperor of Austria. That monarch was not popular among the Parisians.

Should he ever make attempt to reach me again, and could I speak to him, I should tell him just what I have said now to you." I pressed monsieur's hand in the endeavour to bring him back to sense; he seemed about to cry out on her. But mademoiselle's earnestness had drawn all eyes. "Pshaw, Lorance! banish these tragedy airs!" Mme. de Montpensier rejoined, her lightness little touched.
Vigo might not be ready to defend Mlle. de Montluc, but he would defend Monsieur's heir to the last gasp. Yet I would not yield before the choking Maître Menard had withstood, and I stuck to my lie.
He said Lucas was the thief and had put half the sum in his chest to divert suspicion. He said it was a plot to ruin him contrived between Monsieur and his henchman, Lucas. It is true enough, certes, that Monsieur never liked him. He threatened Monsieur's life and Lucas's. He challenged Monsieur, and Monsieur declined to cross swords with a thief.
An excess of happiness hardens the heart; and so, for fear of forgetting my gratitude to Providence, I will, with Monsieur's permission, suffer my adored wife to remain where she is." After so pious a reply, I should have been worse than wicked had I pressed the matter any farther. I found all ready at Berkeley-square.
I was scared chill; I knew if they mishandled him they would brush the wig off. "Mind your manners, sirrah!" Jean cried. Monsieur's ardour vanished; a gentle, appealing smile spread over his face. "I cry your pardon, sir," he said to Jean; then turning to Pierre, "This messer does not understand me. But tell him, I beg you, I crave his good pardon.
