The king read Mazarin's letter, and, as its contents are already known to the reader, in consequence of the misunderstanding between Madame de Chevreuse and Aramis, nothing further would be learned if we stated them here again. "I do not quite understand," said the king, greatly interested. "Your majesty has not acquired the utilitarian habit of checking the public accounts."
The Parliament imagines that this applies only to some particular members who are Mazarined, but they are deceived, for their prejudice extends to the whole company, and their hatred towards Mazarin's party supports and screens their indifference towards all the rest.
Mazarin's plaintive reflection, "Nothing is so disagreeable as to be obscurely hanged," carries with it an echo of Wyoming or Arizona. Mr. Gilbert's analysis of Hamlet's mental disorder, "Hamlet is idiotically sane, With lucid intervals of lunacy,"
On reaching Mazarin's hotel Hector found that he was at the Louvre, and immediately went there, and as bearer of despatches from the army was at once introduced to the minister's apartment. "Come with me at once to the queen's closet," the cardinal said as he entered. "She has just sent for me, and her majesty, being at once a woman and a queen, does not like being kept waiting.
There were many lines wrinkling the circle of his eyes, and the brilliant color on his cheeks was the effect of rouge and fever. The queen gazed covetously at Mazarin's winnings.
This secret will have been a secret for Louis XIV. until Cardinal Mazarin's death.
You would fight only by broad daylight, warn your foe before an attack, and never attempt anything by night lest you should be accused of taking advantage of the darkness." Athos smiled. "You know one cannot change his nature," he said. "Besides, do you know what is our situation, and whether Mazarin's arrest wouldn't be rather an encumbrance than an advantage?"
This closing achievement of Mazarin had a triumphant aspect; his position in France remained undisputed till his death in the next year . He was a successful minister; whether he was a great statesman is another question. His one real legacy to France was the acquisition of Alsace. II. -The French Supremacy in Europe On Mazarin's death Louis at once assumed personal rule.
"None; they are strictly prohibited, and under M. de Mazarin's own hand." "Have you the writing still?" "Yes, my lord; would you like to look at it as you return to take your cloak? "I should, for I like to look at autographs." "Well, then, this one is of the most unquestionable authenticity; there is only one erasure." "Ah, ah! an erasure; and in what respect?" "With respect to a figure.
"Ah! but this is, indeed, civil war which you propose to me, dear Aramis." "War for the king." "Yet the king will be at the head of the army on Mazarin's side." "But his heart will be in the army commanded by the Duc de Beaufort." "Monsieur de Beaufort? He is at Vincennes." "Did I say Monsieur de Beaufort? Monsieur de Beaufort or another. Monsieur de Beaufort or Monsieur le Prince."
