" M. De Beaufort, who thought that I was going to argue for the offensive, fell in roundly with me to second me; but I stopped him short by tellinghim he mistook my meaning. "I shall never presume, " said I, "to give advice in the condition thingsare now in. The Duke himself must decide, and even propose, too, and itis our business to perform his commands. " Then he said, "If I should resolve to brave it out, will you declare forme?" "Yes, " I said, "it is what I ought in duty to do. I am attac...hed to yourservice, in which I shall certainly not be wanting, and you need only tocommand me. But I am very much grieved that, considering the presentstate of affairs, an honest man cannot act the honest part, do what hemay. " The Duke, who was by nature good, but not very tender, could not helpbeing moved at what I said; the tears came into his eyes, he embraced me, and asked me if I thought he could secure the King's person. I told himthat nothing was more impossible. I found at length that he was inclinedto obey, but he bade us keep our friends together in readiness, and to bewith him at break of day.
