Chapter VI
"Run and fetch a surgeon," cried Madame de Beaujeu. "Run here, run there!" The servants were down the stairs in a trice. The good lady Regent dispatched her attendants for ointment, for linen to bind the wounds, for goulard-water, for so many things, that she remained alone. Gazing upon this splendid and senseless man, she cried aloud, admiring his presence and his features, handsome even in death.
