When he was at the steps where he had got into the carriage, which are those of the queen's room, some wine was given him.

Of course some one had already run forward to bear the news.

Sieur de Csrisy, lieutenant of M.de Praslin's company, having raised his head, he made a few movements with his eyes, then closed them immediately, without opening them again any more.

He was carried up stairs by M.de Montbazon and Count de Curzon en Quercy, and laid on the bed in his closet, and at two o'clock carried to the bed in his chamber, where he was all the next day and Sunday.

Somebody went and gave him holy water.
