“He will show you my letter when you call on him on my behalf.”
“But that is almost out of the question.”

“I suppose you will give me the preference! Listen to me, Raoul, I wish you to tell his Grace—it is a very simple matter—that to-day, to-morrow, the following day, or any other day he may choose. I will meet him at Vincennes.”
“Reflect, De Guiche.”
“I thought I told you I have reflected.”
“The duke is a stranger here; he is on a mission which renders his person inviolable.... Vincennes is close to the Bastile.”
