"It is just as I thought," he told Pitchouné. "I took you into my / life, you little rascal, against my will, and now, although it's not / your fault, you are making me regret it. I shall end, Pitchouné, by / being a cynic and misogynist, and learn to make idols of my career / and my troops alone. After all, they may be tiresome, but they don't / hurt as you do, and some other things as well."
Pitchouné, being invited to the musicale at the Château d'Esclignac, / went along with his master, running behind the captain's horse. It / was a heavenly January day, soft and mild, full of sunlight and / delicious odors, and over the towers of King René's castle the sky / banners were made of celestial blue.
