was before the king. In the first two
steps 1 took on entering the room l
perceived that there had been a scene.
Sully was standing against the open
window, his back to the light, and
gravely strokipg his beard. The mar
shall was pacing backward and forward
in an agitatcd manner, and the king
himself was leaning against high

on the veneer.
As de Belin presented me, bent to
my knee, and there was dead silence,
broken only by Henry renewing the
quick, impatient tapping of his fingers
on the woodwork of his desk. He was,
what was unusual with him when in
Paris, in half armor, and perhaps in
compliment to the king of Spain, for it
was the anniversary of the treaty of

silence my eyes unconsciously caught
the glitter of the collar. and 1 could al
most read the device, "Pretium non

said at last, coldly, and added: And

"You linrl"
1t was Biron's voice, furious and
cracked with rngc, that rang through
the room; but Henry stopped him with
word, and then l went on repeating
exactly whati is known. and what have
described before. When it was over the
king turned to the marshal, who burst
out in passion Of upbraiding, calling
God and his own services to witness
that his hands were clean. "and is the

soncluded. "this man, who was openly
