To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eichelieu presented a diamond rose to the messenger who brought him the welcome news, and all France shared in his exultation. In 1640 the succession was still further secured by the birth of a second son, the ancestor of the house of Orleans. One misfortune clouded the felicity of the grand period of Eichelieu's career. In December 1638, just after the news of the capture of Breisach, he lost Father Joseph, " his prop and consolation," as he called him in Digitized by VjOOQ IC 156 RICHELIEU ch...ap, vii the first fervour of his grief. Eichelieu's detractors have not hesitated to make the most of the ohscurity which covers the relations between these two men. They have contended that Father Joseph was the brain and Eichelieu the arm ; that the red cardinal was only the marionette who danced before the public, while the grey cardinal pulled the strings. To such assertions or innuendoes no answer is possible except that there • is no evidence for it, and against it we have not only antecedent improbability, but the fact that Eichelieu's policy and character show no signs of vacillation or weakness after the death of his friend.
