In
the
meantime
d'Artagnan
was
defiling
with
his
company
.
Arriving
at
the
Faubourg
St.
Antoine
,
he
turned
round
to
look
gaily
at
the
Bastille
;
but
as
it
was
the
Bastille
alone
he
looked
at
,
he
did
not
observe
Milady
,
who
,
mounted
upon
a
light
chestnut
horse
,
designated
him
with
her
finger
to
two
ill-looking
men
who
came
close
up
to
the
ranks
to
take
notice
of
him
.
To
a
look
of
interrogation
which
they
made
,
Milady
replied
by
a
sign
that
it
was
he
.
Then
,
certain
that
there
could
be
no
mistake
in
the
execution
of
her
orders
,
she
started
her
horse
and
disappeared
.
The
two
men
followed
the
company
,
and
on
leaving
the
Faubourg
St.
Antoine
,
mounted
two
horses
properly
equipped
,
which
a
servant
without
livery
had
waiting
for
them
.
The
Siege
of
La
Rochelle
was
one
of
the
great
political
events
of
the
reign
of
Louis
XIII
,
and
one
of
the
great
military
enterprises
of
the
cardinal
.
It
is
,
then
,
interesting
and
even
necessary
that
we
should
say
a
few
words
about
it
,
particularly
as
many
details
of
this
siege
are
connected
in
too
important
a
manner
with
the
story
we
have
undertaken
to
relate
to
allow
us
to
pass
it
over
in
silence
.
The
political
plans
of
the
cardinal
when
he
undertook
this
siege
were
extensive
.
Let
us
unfold
them
first
,
and
then
pass
on
to
the
private
plans
which
perhaps
had
not
less
influence
upon
his
Eminence
than
the
others
.
Of
the
important
cities
given
up
by
Henry
IV
to
the
Huguenots
as
places
of
safety
,
there
only
remained
La
Rochelle
.
It
became
necessary
,
therefore
,
to
destroy
this
last
bulwark
of
Calvinism
--
a
dangerous
leaven
with
which
the
ferments
of
civil
revolt
and
foreign
war
were
constantly
mingling
.
Spaniards
,
Englishmen
,
and
Italian
malcontents
,
adventurers
of
all
nations
,
and
soldiers
of
fortune
of
every
sect
,
flocked
at
the
first
summons
under
the
standard
of
the
Protestants
,
and
organized
themselves
like
a
vast
association
,
whose
branches
diverged
freely
over
all
parts
of
Europe
.
La
Rochelle
,
which
had
derived
a
new
importance
from
the
ruin
of
the
other
Calvinist
cities
,
was
,
then
,
the
focus
of
dissensions
and
ambition
.
Moreover
,
its
port
was
the
last
in
the
kingdom
of
France
open
to
the
English
,
and
by
closing
it
against
England
,
our
eternal
enemy
,
the
cardinal
completed
the
work
of
Joan
of
Arc
and
the
Duc
de
Guise
.
Thus
Bassompierre
,
who
was
at
once
Protestant
and
Catholic
--
Protestant
by
conviction
and
Catholic
as
commander
of
the
order
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
Bassompierre
,
who
was
a
German
by
birth
and
a
Frenchman
at
heart
--
in
short
,
Bassompierre
,
who
had
a
distinguished
command
at
the
siege
of
La
Rochelle
,
said
,
in
charging
at
the
head
of
several
other
Protestant
nobles
like
himself
,
"
You
will
see
,
gentlemen
,
that
we
shall
be
fools
enough
to
take
La
Rochelle
.
"
And
Bassompierre
was
right
.
The
cannonade
of
the
Isle
of
Re
presaged
to
him
the
dragonnades
of
the
Cevennes
;
the
taking
of
La
Rochelle
was
the
preface
to
the
revocation
of
the
Edict
of
Nantes
.
We
have
hinted
that
by
the
side
of
these
views
of
the
leveling
and
simplifying
minister
,
which
belong
to
history
,
the
chronicler
is
forced
to
recognize
the
lesser
motives
of
the
amorous
man
and
jealous
rival
.
