Context
“matters went on better under him. The brother of his ‘gray eminence’ made his fortune here.”
“Believe me, my dear governor,” said Aramis, drawing closer to Baisemeaux, “a young king is well worth an old cardinal. Youth has its suspicions, its fits of anger, its prejudices, as old age has its hatreds, its precautions, and its fears. Have you paid your three years’ profits to Louvidre and Tremblay?”
“Most certainly I have.”
“So that you have nothing more to give them than the fifty thousand francs I have brought with me?”
“Nothing.””
