“Perhaps so; but if we did not see him go in, we can see him come out.”
“Yes, but when?”
“When we please.”
“Would it be too curious to ask how you mean to manage?”
“Nothing is more easy; we have but to knock at the door, and ask after M. de Monsoreau. Our lover will be frightened at the noise, and as you enter the house he will come out at the window, and I, who am hidden outside, shall see him.”
“And Monsoreau?”
“What can he say? I am his friend, and was uneasy about him, as he looked so ill yesterday; nothing can be more simple.”
“It is very ingenious, monseigneur.”
“Do you hear what they say?” asked Monsoreau of his valet.
“No, monsieur, but we soon shall, for they are coming nearer.”
