<nobr>I was walking some days after, in the new apartments of his palace.</nobr>
<nobr>I recognised the approach of the Cardinal (Mazarin) by the sound of his</nobr>
<nobr>slippered feet, which he dragged one after the other, as a man enfeebled</nobr>
<nobr>by a mortal malady. I concealed myself behind the tapestry, and I</nobr>
<nobr>heard him say — "Il faut quitter tout cela !" (" I must leave all that ! ")</nobr>
<nobr>He stopped at every step, for he was very feeble, and casting his eyes on</nobr>
<nobr>each object that attracted him, he sighed forth, as from the bottom of</nobr>
<nobr>his heart, "Ilfaut quitter tout cela! What pains have I taken to acquire</nobr>
<nobr>these things! Can I abandon them without regret? I shall never see</nobr>
<nobr>them more where I am about to go !" &c. — Mémoires inédits de Louis</nobr>
<nobr>Henri, Comte de Brienne. Barrière's Edition, vol. ii. p. 115</nobr>
