[Transcriber's Note: This text is taken from a nine-volume edition of
the works of Alexandre Dumas, published in 1893 by Peter Fenelon
Collier. _The Regent's Daughter_ was published in volume 6, along with
_The Forty-Five Guardsmen_ and _The Conspirators_, both of which are
also available from Project Gutenberg. The translator of these texts is
unknown.

The use of accents in the original text was erratic, and some names
appear with more than one spelling. Except where one version was clearly
predominant, all spellings are left as they appear in the original
text.]
