The princess with this exclamation rushed from the window, feeling or affecting much indignation, ordered horses to her carriage instantly, and overwhelmed Madame de Traigny with reproaches.

The King himself, hastening to the scene, was received with passionate invectives, and in vain attempted to assuage the Princess's wrath and induce her to remain.
They left the chateau at once, both Prince and Princess.
One night, not many weeks afterwards, the Due de Sully, in the Arsenal at Paris, had just got into bed at past eleven o'clock when he received a visit from Captain de Praslin, who walked straight into his bed-chamber, informing him that the King instantly required his presence.
Sully remonstrated.

He was obliged to rise at three the next morning, he said, enumerating pressing and most important work which Henry required to be completed with all possible haste.

"The King said you would be very angry," replied Praslin; "but there is no help for it.

Come you must, for the man you know of has gone out of the country, as you said he would, and has carried away the lady on the crupper behind him." "Ho, ho," said the Duke, "I am wanted for that affair, am I ?" And the two proceeded straightway to the Louvre, and were ushered, of all apartments in the world, into the Queen's bedchamber.
