These reports did they get? asked the king.

“I had the honor to say to His Majesty, Charpentier said that knowing that it was Her Majesty herself they had to do today, MM. Lopez and Souscarrières said they would bring their reports themselves. The king will only read their reports or will call if they want further clarification.

-M. Lopez is here with his own, but ample time for Her Majesty to talk to him and open the correspondence of the cardinal, I made an appointment to Mr. Souscarrières until noon.

Bring-Lopez.

Charpentier went out and told a few seconds after giving Ildefonso Lopez.

Lopez went hat in hand, and bowing to the ground.

“That’s right, all right, Mr. Lopez said the king, I know you long, and you cost me dear.

How so, sir?

-Is not it you that Queen bought her jewelry?

Yes, Sire.
