MARQUIS DE NANGIS.

Laugh at my mourning?

DUKE DE BELLEGARDE.

Ah, these coxcombs here!
Old friend, stay there; you'll not have long to wait.

I'll stamp upon the ground for signal; then
Come out.

MARQUIS DE NANGIS (grasping his hand).

May God repay you!

DUKE DE BELLEGARDE (to a Musketeer who walks up and down in front of a small gilt door).

Monsieur, pray,
What does the King?

MUSKETEER.
