Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Upon my soul, everything degenerates; and I don’t know whether it is the game which leaves no scent, or the dogs that have no noses. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | We started a stag of ten branches. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | We chased him for six hours, and when he was near being taken—when St. Simon was already putting his horn to his mouth to sound the halali—crack, all the pack takes the wrong scent and sets off after a two-year-older. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I shall be obliged to give up hunting, as I have given up hawking. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Ah, I am an unfortunate king, Monsieur de Tréville! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I had but one gerfalcon, and he died day before yesterday.” “Indeed, sire, I wholly comprehend your disappointment. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | The misfortune is great; but I think you have still a good number of falcons, sparrow hawks, and tiercels.” “And not a man to instruct them. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Falconers are declining. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I know no one but myself who is acquainted with the noble art of venery. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | After me it will all be over, and people will hunt with gins, snares, and traps. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | If I had but the time to train pupils! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | But there is the cardinal always at hand, who does not leave me a moment’s repose; who talks to me about Spain, who talks to me about Austria, who talks to me about England! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Ah! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | à propos of the cardinal, Monsieur de Tréville, I am vexed with you!” This was the chance at which M. de Tréville waited for the king. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | He knew the king of old, and he knew that all these complaints were but a preface—a sort of excitation to encourage himself—and that he had now come to his point at last. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “And in what have I been so unfortunate as to displease your Majesty?” asked M. de Tréville, feigning the most profound astonishment. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Is it thus you perform your charge, monsieur?” continued the king, without directly replying to de Tréville’s question. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Is it for this I name you captain of my Musketeers, that they should assassinate a man, disturb a whole quarter, and endeavor to set fire to Paris, without your saying a word? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | But yet,” continued the king, “undoubtedly my haste accuses you wrongfully; without doubt the rioters are in prison, and you come to tell me justice is done.” “Sire,” replied M. de Tréville, calmly, “on the contrary, I come to demand it of you.” “And against whom?” cried the king. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Against calumniators,” said M. de Tréville. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Ah! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | This is something new,” replied the king. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Will you tell me that your three damned Musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and your youngster from Béarn, have not fallen, like so many furies, upon poor Bernajoux, and have not maltreated him in such a fashion that probably by this time he is dead? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Will you tell me that they did not lay siege to the hôtel of the Duc de la Trémouille, and that they did not endeavor to burn it?—which would not, perhaps, have been a great misfortune in time of war, seeing that it is nothing but a nest of Huguenots, but which is, in time of peace, a frightful example. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Tell me, now, can you deny all this?” “And who told you this fine story, sire?” asked Tréville, quietly. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Who has told me this fine story, monsieur? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Who should it be but he who watches while I sleep, who labors while I amuse myself, who conducts everything at home and abroad—in France as in Europe?” “Your Majesty probably refers to God,” said M. de Tréville; “for I know no one except God who can be so far above your Majesty.” “No, monsieur; I speak of the prop of the state, of my only servant, of my only friend—of the cardinal.” “His Eminence is not his holiness, sire.” “What do you mean by that, monsieur?” “That it is only the Pope who is infallible, and that this infallibility does not extend to cardinals.” “You mean to say that he deceives me; you mean to say that he betrays me? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | You accuse him, then? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Come, speak; avow freely that you accuse him!” “No, sire, but I say that he deceives himself. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I say that he is ill-informed. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I say that he has hastily accused your Majesty’s Musketeers, toward whom he is unjust, and that he has not obtained his information from good sources.” “The accusation comes from Monsieur de la Trémouille, from the duke himself. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | What do you say to that?” “I might answer, sire, that he is too deeply interested in the question to be a very impartial witness; but so far from that, sire, I know the duke to be a royal gentleman, and I refer the matter to him—but upon one condition, sire.” “What?” “It is that your Majesty will make him come here, will interrogate him yourself, tête-à-tête, without witnesses, and that I shall see your Majesty as soon as you have seen the duke.” “What, then! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | You will bind yourself,” cried the king, “by what Monsieur de la Trémouille shall say?” “Yes, sire.” “You will accept his judgment?” “Undoubtedly.” “And you will submit to the reparation he may require?” “Certainly.” “La Chesnaye,” said the king. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “La Chesnaye!” Louis XIII.’s confidential valet, who never left the door, entered in reply to the call. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “La Chesnaye,” said the king, “let someone go instantly and find Monsieur de la Trémouille; I wish to speak with him this evening.” “Your Majesty gives me your word that you will not see anyone between Monsieur de la Trémouille and myself?” “Nobody, by the faith of a gentleman.” “Tomorrow, then, sire?” “Tomorrow, monsieur.” “At what o’clock, please your Majesty?” “At any hour you will.” “But in coming too early I should be afraid of awakening your Majesty.” “Awaken me! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Do you think I ever sleep, then? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I sleep no longer, monsieur. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I sometimes dream, that’s all. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Come, then, as early as you like—at seven o’clock; but beware, if you and your Musketeers are guilty.” “If my Musketeers are guilty, sire, the guilty shall be placed in your Majesty’s hands, who will dispose of them at your good pleasure. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Does your Majesty require anything further? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Speak, I am ready to obey.” “No, monsieur, no; I am not called Louis the Just without reason. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Tomorrow, then, monsieur—tomorrow.” “Till then, God preserve your Majesty!” However ill the king might sleep, M. de Tréville slept still worse. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | He had ordered his three Musketeers and their companion to be with him at half past six in the morning. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | He took them with him, without encouraging them or promising them anything, and without concealing from them that their luck, and even his own, depended upon the cast of the dice. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Arrived at the foot of the back stairs, he desired them to wait. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | If the king was still irritated against them, they would depart without being seen; if the king consented to see them, they would only have to be called. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | On arriving at the king’s private antechamber, M. de Tréville found La Chesnaye, who informed him that they had not been able to find M. de la Trémouille on the preceding evening at his hôtel, that he returned too late to present himself at the Louvre, that he had only that moment arrived and that he was at that very hour with the king. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | This circumstance pleased M. de Tréville much, as he thus became certain that no foreign suggestion could insinuate itself between M. de la Trémouille’s testimony and himself. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | In fact, ten minutes had scarcely passed away when the door of the king’s closet opened, and M. de Tréville saw M. de la Trémouille come out. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | The duke came straight up to him, and said: “Monsieur de Tréville, his Majesty has just sent for me in order to inquire respecting the circumstances which took place yesterday at my hôtel. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I have told him the truth; that is to say, that the fault lay with my people, and that I was ready to offer you my excuses. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Since I have the good fortune to meet you, I beg you to receive them, and to hold me always as one of your friends.” “Monsieur the Duke,” said M. de Tréville, “I was so confident of your loyalty that I required no other defender before his Majesty than yourself. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I find that I have not been mistaken, and I thank you that there is still one man in France of whom may be said, without disappointment, what I have said of you.” “That’s well said,” cried the king, who had heard all these compliments through the open door; “only tell him, Tréville, since he wishes to be considered your friend, that I also wish to be one of his, but he neglects me; that it is nearly three years since I have seen him, and that I never do see him unless I send for him. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Tell him all this for me, for these are things which a king cannot say for himself.” “Thanks, sire, thanks,” said the duke; “but your Majesty may be assured that it is not those—I do not speak of Monsieur de Tréville—whom your Majesty sees at all hours of the day that are most devoted to you.” “Ah! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | You have heard what I said? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | So much the better, Duke, so much the better,” said the king, advancing toward the door. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Ah! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | It is you, Tréville. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Where are your Musketeers? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I told you the day before yesterday to bring them with you; why have you not done so?” “They are below, sire, and with your permission La Chesnaye will bid them come up.” “Yes, yes, let them come up immediately. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | It is nearly eight o’clock, and at nine I expect a visit. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Go, Monsieur Duke, and return often. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Come in, Tréville.” The Duke saluted and retired. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | At the moment he opened the door, the three Musketeers and D’Artagnan, conducted by La Chesnaye, appeared at the top of the staircase. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Come in, my braves,” said the king, “come in; I am going to scold you.” The Musketeers advanced, bowing, D’Artagnan following closely behind them. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “What the devil!” continued the king. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Seven of his Eminence’s Guards placed hors de combat by you four in two days! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | That’s too many, gentlemen, too many! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | If you go on so, his Eminence will be forced to renew his company in three weeks, and I to put the edicts in force in all their rigor. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | One now and then I don’t say much about; but seven in two days, I repeat, it is too many, it is far too many!” “Therefore, sire, your Majesty sees that they are come, quite contrite and repentant, to offer you their excuses.” “Quite contrite and repentant! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Hem!” said the king. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “I place no confidence in their hypocritical faces. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | In particular, there is one yonder of a Gascon look. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Come hither, monsieur.” D’Artagnan, who understood that it was to him this compliment was addressed, approached, assuming a most deprecating air. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Why, you told me he was a young man? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | This is a boy, Tréville, a mere boy! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Do you mean to say that it was he who bestowed that severe thrust at Jussac?” “And those two equally fine thrusts at Bernajoux.” “Truly!” “Without reckoning,” said Athos, “that if he had not rescued me from the hands of Cahusac, I should not now have the honor of making my very humble reverence to your Majesty.” “Why he is a very devil, this Béarnais! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Ventre-saint-gris, Monsieur de Tréville, as the king my father would have said. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | But at this sort of work, many doublets must be slashed and many swords broken. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Now, Gascons are always poor, are they not?” “Sire, I can assert that they have hitherto discovered no gold mines in their mountains; though the Lord owes them this miracle in recompense for the manner in which they supported the pretensions of the king your father.” “Which is to say that the Gascons made a king of me, myself, seeing that I am my father’s son, is it not, Tréville? | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Well, happily, I don’t say nay to it. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | La Chesnaye, go and see if by rummaging all my pockets you can find forty pistoles; and if you can find them, bring them to me. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | And now let us see, young man, with your hand upon your conscience, how did all this come to pass?” D’Artagnan related the adventure of the preceding day in all its details; how, not having been able to sleep for the joy he felt in the expectation of seeing his Majesty, he had gone to his three friends three hours before the hour of audience; how they had gone together to the tennis court, and how, upon the fear he had manifested lest he receive a ball in the face, he had been jeered at by Bernajoux, who had nearly paid for his jeer with his life, and M. de la Trémouille, who had nothing to do with the matter, with the loss of his hôtel. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “This is all very well,” murmured the king, “yes, this is just the account the duke gave me of the affair. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Poor cardinal! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Seven men in two days, and those of his very best! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | But that’s quite enough, gentlemen; please to understand, that’s enough. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | You have taken your revenge for the Rue Férou, and even exceeded it; you ought to be satisfied.” “If your Majesty is so,” said Tréville, “we are.” “Oh, yes; I am,” added the king, taking a handful of gold from La Chesnaye, and putting it into the hand of D’Artagnan. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “Here,” said he, “is a proof of my satisfaction.” At this epoch, the ideas of pride which are in fashion in our days did not prevail. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | A gentleman received, from hand to hand, money from the king, and was not the least in the world humiliated. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | D’Artagnan put his forty pistoles into his pocket without any scruple—on the contrary, thanking his Majesty greatly. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | “There,” said the king, looking at a clock, “there, now, as it is half past eight, you may retire; for as I told you, I expect someone at nine. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Thanks for your devotedness, gentlemen. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I may continue to rely upon it, may I not?” “Oh, sire!” cried the four companions, with one voice, “we would allow ourselves to be cut to pieces in your Majesty’s service.” “Well, well, but keep whole; that will be better, and you will be more useful to me. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Tréville,” added the king, in a low voice, as the others were retiring, “as you have no room in the Musketeers, and as we have besides decided that a novitiate is necessary before entering that corps, place this young man in the company of the Guards of Monsieur Dessessart, your brother-in-law. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | Ah, pardieu, Tréville! | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I enjoy beforehand the face the cardinal will make. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | He will be furious; but I don’t care. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | I am doing what is right.” The king waved his hand to Tréville, who left him and rejoined the Musketeers, whom he found sharing the forty pistoles with D’Artagnan. | 6 |
Chapter VI.
HIS MAJESTY KING LOUIS XIII. | The cardinal, as his Majesty had said, was really furious, so furious that during eight days he absented himself from the king’s gaming table. | 6 |
