“They have written to you?”
“No; the duke writes no more since that strange disappearance of Nicholas David. They have come to Paris.”
“MM. de Guise are at Paris?”
“Yes, monseigneur.”
“I have not seen them.”
“They are too prudent to expose themselves or your highness to any risk.”
“And I was not told!”
“I tell you now.”
“What have they come for?”
“They come, monseigneur, to the rendezvous you gave them.”
