The Grandissimes

CHAPTER V
5/10

Don't shake your head.

Take my example; look at me; all these things go in at this ear and out at this.
Do king or clergy trouble me?
Not at all.

For how does the king in these matters of religion?
I shall not even tell you, he is such a bad boy.

Do you not know that all the _noblesse_, and all the _savants_, and especially all the archbishops and cardinals,--all, in a word, but such silly little chicks as yourself,--have found out that this religious business is a joke?
Actually a joke, every whit; except, to be sure, this heresy phase; that is a joke they cannot take.

Now, I wish you well, pretty child; so if you--eh ?--truly, my pet, I fear we shall have to call you unreasonable.
