Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Huguenot, Vol. 2 of 2: A Tale of the French Protestants The request for an udience was conveyed through the M uis of Seigne ai, with whom the count himself was we] acquainted; and he doubted not that it would be granted immediately, if he had preceded, -as he had every reason to believe he had, the ordinary courier from Poitou, bringing the news of the events which had taken place in that province. The letter of the young secretary, in retum to his application, arrived the next morning; but it was cold and formal, and evidently written under the immediate dictation of the king. Lt merely notified to the count that, for the next three days, the time appointed by his majesty for business would be fully occupied; that, in the mean time, if the business which brought the count to Paris were impor tant, he would communicate it to the minister under whose department it came. The note went on to add, that if the business were not one requiring immediate despatch, the young count would do well to come to Versailles, to signify the place of his abode at the palace, and to wait the monarch's leisure.
