the Examination of her Daughter she had found in her an indifferency for all men and more particularly for Sansac that it was likely that too much Love in the Count of Amboise had made him to decline the marrying a Person who was so incapable of passion as not to know or discern the Sentiments that were had for her In fine she advis'd her to accept of the Viscount of Tavanes for her Son-in-law The business was treated with much Secrecy and it had been quickly dispatch'd if the King's Sickness had not suspended all things He was seiz'd while he was Hunting with such a violent pain in his Head that from the very beginning the consequences of it were dreaded That danger he was in recall'd back to Paris all those that were concern'd for his life The Marquess of Sansac return'd in diligence The Count of Amboise though he was scarce arriv'd in England return'd into France That Sickness prov'd as fatal as it had been sudden The King died within the space of eight days and his Death gave a new face to all things Queen Mury of Scotland lost all that Authority which she had acquired Catherine of Medicis was declared Regent during the Minority of Charles the Ninth and was absolute The Prince of Conde who had been arrested for that Conspiracy of which he was thought to be the Chief was set at Liberty he still had a great Esteem for Amboise and though he could not prevail with him to enter into his Interests he had not lov'd him the less The Marquess of Sansac did speak with Madmoiselle of Roye the next day that he came to Paris she was at Madam of Tournon's where there was great store of Company and she was somewhat at a distance from the rest so that he found a means to place himself near her without being oppos'd in it by Madam of Tournon He ask'd Pardon of Madmoiselle of Roye for those Propositions which he had caus'd to be made to her Mother before he had consulted her he accus'd thereof the violence of his Passion and he told her That what he had heard of her hatred towards him and Madam of Roye's refusal had sufficiently punish'd him for it Madmoiselle of Roye was surpris'd at that Discourse You learn me such new things said she that I am troubled how to answer and I am as ignorant of the hatred that you say I have for you as of all the rest Madam of Tournon who perceiv'd him very busie in Discourse with Madmoiselle of Roye feigning not to see it call'd to her to draw near telling her that she was at too much distance from the rest of the Company When Madmoiselle of Roye made reflexions on what he had told her she believ'd that those Propositions had been made that very day and that some Reasons of Interest or of Hatred had determined her Mother on a refusal so she concluded that she should not marry Sansac at the same instant that she was certain of being tenderly belov'd by him Mean time this Marquess was gathering fresh hopes he perceived that he was not hated He further comprehended that perhaps Madam of Roye in refusing him so cruelly had sought no further than to keep her Word with Monsieur of Amboise and that things being now chang'd as to that Concern a second Attempt might succeed He would have engag'd his Father the very next morning to mention it to Madam of Roye but he found him so pierc'd with sorrow for the Death of the King whose Governour he had been that he would not so much as hear him This Marquess was too amorous not to fear being prevented by his Rivals He knew Madam of Tournon's power over Madam of Roye he declar'd to her his Love and did conjure her to speak in his behalf till his Father could enter on that business Madam of Tournon was offended at this confidence but she took upon her to dissemble and she did not much fear but that it would succeed She assur'd him that it should not be her fault if he was not happy He believ'd her and in that belief he went to see Madam of Roye that very day but many things had pass'd that he knew not of So soon as Monsieur of Amboise was return'd from England he had waited on that Countess who had receiv'd him with great affection She had but newly inform'd her Daughter that she design'd her for the Viscount of Tavanes and that News had given her so great a trouble that she had had no more time but to answer that she should always obey her and had gone out of her Mother's Chamber to give a full vent to her Tears When she perceiv'd that she had avoided to marry the Count of Amboise but to be deliver'd up to the Viscount of Tavanes she was inconsolable His Person had always displeas'd her and his design rendred him odious She believ'd that that perfect Esteem which she had for the Count of Amboise might supply the place of Love and that it had been easier for her to become his since she had no longer hopes of marrying Sansac than to be the Viscount of Tavanes's In fine the pass'd danger did no longer appear an evil to her and she gave that name but to the present Madam of Roye desirous to let Amboise know he had not lost her confiance in him made no Secret to him of Monsieur of Tavanes's Marriage with her Daughter and she spoke to him of it as a thing that would be very soon concluded What did not that News produce in Monsieur of Amboise's mind Madmoiselle of Roye was going to marry a man whom he knew that she did not love The thoughts of losing her for ever and to see her in the possession of an Husband who had so little deserv'd her did excite at once his despair and his indignation He begg'd the permission of Madam of Roye of seeing her Daughter and he immediately went to find her in her Apartment She was in such a sorrowful condition that he stood not in need of his discourse of Love to be sensibly moved with it Her Face was cover'd with Tears which did not diminish her Beauty You are Witness of my Sorrow said she finding that she could not hide her Tears and you will soon learn what has caus'd it I know it may be but too much already reply'd he and I dare say Madmoiselle that I am more sensible of those evils that you feel than of all those that you have made me How cruel is your goodness to me said Madmoiselle of Roye whose Sorrow forc'd to speak Conceal it from me in compassion that I may less know the value of what I have lost What do you tell me Madmoiselle said he I have not acquired so much indifferency as to hear quietly those words from your mouth I seek not to flatter you said she but it is certain that I shall repent my self all my life time of the proceeding that I have
