As to the rest, M. de Treville had good reason to mistrust the cardinal and to think that all was not over, for scarcely had the captain of the Musketeers closed the door after him, than his Eminence said to the king, "Now that we are at length by ourselves, we will, if your Majesty pleases, converse seriously. Sire, Buckingham has been in Paris five days, and only left this morning."
Trouwens, de heer de Tréville had gelijk den kardinaal te wantrouwen en te gelooven, dat alles nog niet gedaan was; want nauwelijks had de kapitein der musketiers de deur achter zich gesloten, of Zijne Eminentie zeide tot den koning: „Thans, nu wij slechts alleen met ons beiden zijn, willen wij eens ernstig spreken, indien Uwe Majesteit dit behaagt, Sire! de hertog van Buckingham was sedert vijf dagen te _Parijs_ en is niet vóór heden ochtend vertrokken.”
