And Henri’s gone! And now his cousin reigns,—
René de Vardes that hath been years away!
The King is dead. Well, well, long live the King!
They say he’s brave as Crillon, handsome too,
With that bel air that no De Vardes’s without!
Enter Mme. de Vaucourt followed by the Abbé Jean de
Barbasan.
Mlle. de Château-Gui
Monsieur l’Abbé!
