"That is to be proved, monseigneur."
"M. de Baisemeaux, once more I warn you to pay particular attention to what you are saying."
"All the documents are there, monseigneur."
"M. d'Herblay is overthrown."
"Overthrown?—M. d'Herblay! Impossible!"
"You see that he has undoubtedly influenced you."
"No, monseigneur; what does, in fact, influence me, is the king's service. I am doing my duty. Give me an order from him, and you shall enter."
"Stay, M. le Gouverneur, I give you my word that if you allow me to see the prisoner, I will give you an order from the king at once."
"Give it me now, monseigneur."
"And that, if you refuse me, I will have you and all your officers arrested on the spot."
