"In spite of your buffooneries, you are a brave man."
"Then do not give me an abbey, give me a regiment." "And even a wise one." "Then do not give me a regiment, make me a counselor; but no, when I think of it, I should prefer a regiment, for I should be always forced to be of the king's opinion." "Hold your tongue, Chicot, the terrible hour approaches." "Ah! you are beginning again." "You will hear." "Hear what?" "Wait, and the event will show you. Chicot, you are brave!" "I boast of it, but I do not wish to try. Call your captain of the guard, your Swiss, and let me go away from this invisible danger." "Chicot, I command you to stay." "On my word, a nice master. I am afraid, I tell you. Help!" "Well, drole, if I must, I will tell you all." |
