o renounce all the errors he had advanced;
and while he spoke the words, as if by magic charm, the whole assembly
shrieked, and the pandemonium began to tumble in hideous ruin on their
heads.

I returned in triumph to the palace, where the Queen rushed into my
arms, weeping tenderly. "Ah, thou flower of nobility," cried she, "were
all the nobles of France like thee, we should never have been brought to
this!"

I bade the lovely creature dry her eyes, and with the King and Dauphin
ascend my carriage, and drive post to Mont-Medi, as not an instant was
to be lost. They took my advice and drove away. I conveyed them within
a few miles of Mont-Medi, when the King, thanking me for my assistance,
hoped I would not trouble myself any farther, as he was then, he
presumed, out of danger; and the Queen also, with tears in her eyes,
thanked me on her knees, and presented the Dauphin for my blessing. In
short, I left the King eating a mutton chop. I advised him not to delay,
or he would certainly be taken, and setting spurs to my horse, wished
them a good evening, and returned to England. If the King remained too
long at table, and was taken, it was not my fault.
