'Tis enough for us to be saddled with dissolute old men-at- arms without all their idle kin making an excuse to come and pay their devoirs. These corrodies are a heavy charge and a weighty abuse, and if there be the visitation the king's majesty speaks of, they will be one of the first matters to be amended." Wherewith Stephen and Ambrose found themselves walked out of the cloister of St.
"Think you, Madame, that I could remain long in Paris and fail to pay you my devoirs?" Madame Riano, giving no attention to this speech, scrutinized Jacques Haret, and then said abruptly: "How comes it that you are so well dressed? I know those clothes are not your own, for I know all about your way of life, Jacques Haret." Gaston Cheverny looked a little uncomfortable at this.
On landing he received the keys of his city of Porto-Ferrajo, and the devoirs of the Governor, prefect, and other dignitaries, and he proceeded immediately under a canopy of State to the parish church, which served as a cathedral. There he heard Te Deum, and it is stated that his countenance was dark and melancholy, and that he even shed tears.

His devoirs were paid to Dictator Jaffier, who confided that he had purchased a gunboat and search-light on behalf of the government. Its delivery was but ten days off, and with it he expected to keep that old sea-fighter, Celestino Rey, better in order.... Bedient had the evening to himself.
But still the Court carried it so severely to the Cardinal that they would not let him go and pay his last devoirs to his father when on his dying bed. At length, however, after abundance of solicitation, he had leave to go and wait upon the King and Queen, who, on the death of Pope Alexander VII., sent him to Rome to assist at the election of his successor.

The lieutenant imagined that he was more graciously received than usual.
