CHAPTER XXXI.
THE BOURGEOIS OF PARIS.
M. de Mayenne, with whom they were so much occupied at the Louvre, set out from the Hotel Guise, booted and on horseback, as though he had just arrived. He was received by the king affectionately.
"Well, cousin," said he, "you have, then, come to visit Paris?"
"Yes, sire; I come in my brother's name and my own, to recall to your majesty that you have no more faithful subjects than ourselves."
"Mordieu!" said the king, "that is so well known that you might have spared yourself this trouble. You must have had some other motive."
