some part in the Application and I avow to you that if I was happy enough to compas it by the same means I should endeavour to render my self worthy of it by my Conduct While this Letter was a carrying to the Countess the Chevalier went to seek out his Nephew with whom he found Manicamp After a Prologue of Raillery upon the good Fortunes of the Count de Guiche in General Faith my poor Friends said he to them I confess you are younger and genteeler than I am and I shall never dispute with you a Mistress I have not been a long time acquainted with But however you must yield the Countess to me and all those I have any Engagement with The Vanity Women take in a great number of Galants may oblige them to give you some hopes There are few who at the first onset will stifle the Vows of their Adorers But sooner or later they return to reason and it is then that the new Comer passes his time very ill and that the old Gallant jointly with his Mistress cry Farewel you Gentlemen Serenaders You promised me Count de Guiche never to torment me more as to what concerns the Countess you have broke your word and committed an infidelity that has done you no good For the Countess has given me all the Letters you wrote to her I 'le snow you the Originals when you will In the mean time here is a Copy of the last Letter you sent her and saying that he took out a Letter of the Count de Guiche's and having read it Well! my Dears said he to them you 'l hunt upon my grounds again will you While the Chevalier was speaking the Count de Guiche and Manicamp looked amazedly upon one another not being able to comprehend that the Countess had so basely deceived them At length Manicamp broak silence and addressing himself to the Count You are treated said he to him as you deserved but since the Countess has not had any Consideration for us added he turning towards the Chevalier we are not obliged to have any for her We easily perceived we have been Sacrificed but there was a time Chevalier that you was so too We have indeed great reason to complain of her but you have none at all to be satisfied with her When we some times rejoyced and were merry at your Costs the Countess went halves with us at the least The truth is said the Count de Guiche that you would not have reason to be satisfied with the Countesses preference in your Favours if you knew the esteem she has of you and this makes me draw infallible Consequences that she is deeply engaged with you since after all the things she has told me she only betrays me to give you satisfaction Thereupon being all three really reconciled and having given one another a thousand Assurances of Friendship for the future they parted The Count de Guiche and Manicamp shut themselves up to make a Letter of reproaches in Manicamps Name to the Countess to which the poor Countess being innocent made answer that he and his Friend had been taken for Cullies and that the Chevalier was cunninger than they that she could not tell by what means he had got the Letter he had showed them but that they One day should clearly see that she had not made a Sacrifice of them This Letter not finding Manicamp any longer at Paris he being gone out the day before with the Count de Guiche to follow the King in his Progress to Lyons he did not receive it till he arrived at Court and thought neither the more nor the less advantageously of the Countess during all these passages Marsillac's Intrigue with Madam d' Olonne jogged on that Lover seeing her with the greatest conveniency imaginable by night at her House and by day at Mademoiselle de Cornuelle's a lovely Creature and of a great deal of Wit Madam d' Olonne had by her Bed-side a Closet in a corner of which she had caused a trap Door to be made which went into another Closet underneath wherein Marsillac entred when it was night a Foot-Carpet concealed the Trapdoor and a Table covered it Thus Marsillac passing the Night with Madam d' Olonne according to the common report did not lose his time This lasted till she went to the Waters in which time Marsillac who wrote to her a thousand Letters that are not mentioned here because they are not worth the pains wrote this Amourous Ticket to her one day before bidding her Adieu I never felt so lively a Grief as that I am sensible of at present my Dear because I never yet parted from you since we have been in love with one another Nothing but absence and that too the first absence of what a person infinitely loves can reduce one into the lamentable Condition I am in If any thing could lessen my trouble my Dear it would be the belief that you would suffer as much as I do Do not take it ill that I wish you in pain since it is a mark of your love Farewel my Dear be well assured that I love you and that I shall love you ever for if you are once really perswaded of this truth it is impossible but that you must love me as long as you live Her Answer was COmfort your self my Dear If my Grief gives you case it is as great as you could desire it I cannot explaine it better than by telling you that I suffer as much as I love you If you doubt it my Dear come to me but come early that I may be a long time with you and that I may in some manner recompence my self for the absence I am going to suffer Farewell my Dear be assured of my passion it is at least as great as yours Marsillac did not fail to be at the Assignation much sooner than ordinary In accosting his Mistress he flung himself upon her Bed and was thus a long time melting into tears and all his words were interrupted by sobs Madam d' Olonne for her part appeared no less concerned but as she was desirous to receive other Marks of Love from her Galant than those of Grief How my Dear said she to him you sent me word a little while a go that my Grief would case yours and yet the affliction you see me in does not render you the more capable of Comfort At these words Marsillac redoubled his sighs without making her an answer the dulness of his Soul had caused the same effect in his Body and I fancy that this Lover deplored at that time more the absence of his Vigour than that of his Mistress However as young People recover easily and he being of a good complexion he began to come to himself and recovered his strength in a little time Insomuch that Madam d' Olonne could hardly discover he had been so lately ill After he had given her so many testimonies of his good health she recommended to him to
