"In the Bastille?"
"Or in the League."
"The former is preferable."
"You may count yourself thrice fortunate, then, that a third alternative is given you."
"It needs not the reminder. You have treated me as a prince indeed. Be assured the St. Quentins will not forget."
"Every one forgets."
"Perhaps. But when you need our good offices we shall not have had time to forget."
"Pardieu, St. Quentin, you have good courage to tell me to my head my course is run!"
"My dear Mayenne, none punishes the maunderings of the court jester."
