The arrest of the Duke de Beaufort, who had supposed himself, from the concession of the queen, already cited, 136 LOUIS XIV, AND to have been selected as the governor of the young king, created universal astonishment. People began to feel almost grateful to Mazarin when a few weeks elapsed with- out a new arrest ; and he obtained credit for forbearance on many occasions where his neutrality arose only from want of power. He caused it to be understood that he had been compelled to this extreme ...measure ; and that the advice of Monsieur and the Prince de Conde had prevailed with the queen over his own. His courtesy increased ; he became more affable, more accessible, more amiable than ever ; and while the courtiers still esteemed themselves his equals, he, by this skilful conduct, was enabled to ascend to the very pinnacle of that eminence which was the object and aim of his am- bition. The Parliament, delivered from the dictation of Richelieu, who had crippled their privileges, believed that the age of the new minister, by whom they were constantly assured that the queen would act only by their advice, was destined to renew the age of gold.
