From infancy Cinq-Mars had been a lover of life in the open. He had hunted the forests of Touraine, and had angled the waters of the Loire, and thus he came to give a new zest to the already sad life of Louis XIEL Honour after honour was piled upon him until he was made Grand Seneschal of France and Master of the King^s Horse, at which time he dropped his natal patronymic and became known as '* Monsieur le Grand/ ^ Cinq-Mars fell madly in love with Marion Delorme and wished to make her ** Madam...e la Grande," but the dowager Marquise de Cinq- Mars would not hear of it: Mile. Marion De- lorme, the Aspasia of her day, would be no honour to the ancestral tree of the Effiats of Cinq-Mars. Headstrong and wilful, one early morning, Monsieur le Grand and his beloved, then only thirty, took coach from her hotel in the Rue des Toumelles at Paris for the old family castle in Touraine, sitting high on the hills above the feudal village which bore the name of Cinq- Mars. In the chapel they were secretly mar- ried, and for eight days the proverbial mar- riage-bell rang true.
