They executed these orders completely; the servants of the Duchess were thoroughly thrashed--the harness of her horses cut--her coaches maltreated.

The Duchess made a great fuss, and complained to the King, but he would not mix himself in the matter.

She was so outraged, that she resolved to retire into Germany, and in a very few months did so.
My year of service in the Musketeers being over, the King, after a time, gave me, without purchase, a company of cavalry in the Royal Roussillon, in garrison at Mons, and just then very incomplete.

I thanked the King, who replied to me very obligingly.

The company was entirely made up in a fortnight.
