Poor Jupiter, haggard, frightened, pale beneath his rouge, dropped his thunderbolt, took his cap in his hand; then he bowed and trembled and stammered: "His eminence−−the ambassadors−−Madame Marguerite of Flanders−−." He did not know what to say.
Le pauvre Jupiter, hagard, effaré, pâle sous son rouge, laissa tomber sa foudre, prit à la main son bicoquet ; puis il saluait et tremblait en balbutiant : Son Éminence… les ambassadeurs… Madame Marguerite de Flandre… Il ne savait que dire.
