Context
“In what respect does Madame prefer De Guiche to you?”
“I shall say no more,” said the chevalier, saluting the prince ceremoniously.
“On the contrary, I require you to speak. If you withdraw on that account, you must indeed be very jealous.”
“One cannot help being jealous, monseigneur, when one loves. Is not your royal highness jealous of Madame? Would you not, if you saw some one always near Madame, and always treated with great favor, take umbrage at it? One’s friends are as one’s lovers. Your highness has sometimes conferred the distinguished honor upon me of calling me your friend.””
