 88 14|          sight, nothing denoted the cardinal; and it was impossible for
 89 14|         seconds of examination, the cardinal was satisfied. ~"That head
 90 14|             high treason," said the cardinal, slowly. ~"So I have been

 93 14|           She said that?" cried the cardinal, with violence. ~"Yes, monseigneur,
 94 14|            are stupid," replied the cardinal. ~"That's exactly what my
 95 14|            man." ~    ~ ~ ~ ~   The cardinal repressed another smile. ~"

100 14|       Monsieur Bonacieux," said the cardinal. ~"He calls me his dear
101 14|              That's well," said the cardinal. ~At these words he took

103 14|             all the servants of the cardinal displayed in obeying him. ~"
104 14|             He! What he?" asked the cardinal. ~"The man who abducted
105 14|             abducted my wife." ~The cardinal rang a second time. The
106 14|           away that fool!" said the cardinal. ~The officer took Bonacieux

109 14|        prisoner in again," said the cardinal. ~M. Bonacieux was introduced
110 14|            and upon a sign from the cardinal, the officer retired. ~"
111 14|         have deceived me!" said the cardinal, sternly. ~"I," cried Bonacieux, "
112 14|           ah, how truly you are the cardinal, the great cardinal, the
113 14|             the cardinal, the great cardinal, the man of genius whom

124 14|                What man?" asked the cardinal. ~"That Bonacieux." ~"I

128 15|      prejudices were kept up by the cardinal, who in affairs of intrigue
129 15|               At the first word the cardinal spoke of Mme. de Chevreuse--
130 15|            by reason. ~But when the cardinal added that not only Mme.

184 16|            that he must consult the cardinal upon that head. ~Indeed,
185 16|        every day the king asked the cardinal when this fete should take
186 16|            place; and every day the cardinal, under some pretext, deferred

194 17|         XIII knew all, and that the cardinal had persuaded him to employ
195 17|             the day. I will ask the cardinal." ~"It was the cardinal,

217 18|          mercer and his wife. ~"The cardinal's," replied Mme. Bonacieux. "
218 18|             save the queen with the cardinal's money!" ~"You are an amiable
219 18|          this from you." ~"Then the cardinal will be pleased with me?" ~"
220 18|           doubt of it." ~"The great cardinal!" ~"Are you sure, in her
221 18|             And I?" ~"Well you--the cardinal would have given you letters
222 18|           and I run directly to the cardinal." ~"Well, go quickly! I

452 51|          plainly perceived that the cardinal went away with rage in his
