. 3. Cheux here and elsewhere =‘ chez.’ . 5. De la bonne, in Retz’ curious and incorrect, but graphic fashion

of speech, refers to honte. ‘Mazarin was not the man to be honestly ashamed of anything.’

. 34. Aevétu in the military sense, ‘covered with a revétement,

‘“embanked with earth.’

. 3. Cruel. The duke of Orleans was accused of having poisoned

more than one of those who stood between him and the throne. The accusation, which remains on record in the venomous lampoons of Lagrange-Chancel, is destitute of a shadow of proof.
