74 16| to your Majesty, that the queen conspires against the power

76 16| you are certain that the queen and he did not see each
77 16| other?" ~"I believe the queen to have too high a sense

95 16| What horror!" cried the queen. ~"Be kind enough, then,
96 16| would rather die!" cried the queen, in whom the imperious blood
97 16| sprang tears of rage. ~The queen was, as we have said, of

119 17| sweetness and pity. ~The queen turned sharply round, for
120 17| doors which opened into the queen's apartment appeared the

129 17| madame; time presses." ~The queen ran to a little table, on
130 17| Bonacieux. ~"And now," said the queen, "we are forgetting one
131 17| none, either," said the queen. Those who have read the
132 17| see the address," said the queen, speaking so low that Mme.
133 17| kissed the hands of the queen, concealed the paper in

156 21| queen have them to me, the queen requires them again. Her
157 21| Anne of Austria is my true queen. Upon a word from her, I
158 21| could constantly talk of the queen. ~In one hour after, the

167 22| their illustrious guest. The queen entered the great hall;
168 22| fixed upon those of the queen, and a smile of terrible
169 22| passed over his lips; the queen did not wear her diamond
