Today is Tuesday; next Tuesday is the day of the Duc de Retz's party; that evening, when M. de La Mole comes home, the porter shall hand him the fatal letter ... He thinks only of making you a Duchess, of that I am certain; think of his grief!'
C’est aujourd’hui mardi ; mardi prochain c’est le jour du duc de Retz ; le soir, quand M. de La Mole rentrera, le portier lui remettra la lettre fatale… Il ne pense qu’à vous faire duchesse, j’en suis certain, jugez de son malheur !
