He even seemed eager to con- ciliate all the parties involved in the conspiracy. After all, he could hardly imprison the Duke of Lorraine, or impeach the King of England for High Treason. Only Montagu, caught red-handed with the incriminating documents, was in any danger. When Anne of Austria heard of the envoy's arrest she nearly went mad with terror. She paced up and down her room, wringing her hands, and could neither eat nor sleep. She was afraid that the papers he carried would incriminate... her and her guilty conscience made her a prey to the most dismal forebodings. Finally she sent for her faithful servant, La Porte, and had him admitted to her room at midnight. It was taking a fearful risk but she was desperate. She told him of her fears and implored him to get word to Montagu not to betray her. La Porte managed to get in touch with the envoy on his way to the Bastille, mingled with the guard in the darkness and exchanged a few words with the prisoner. We have his own account of the adventure.
