The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Twenty Years After by Alexandre Dumas: "You come from the queen?" said Mazarin, looking fixedly at
D'Artagnan.
"I! my lord -- who told you that?"
"Nobody, but I know it."
"I regret infinitely to tell you, my lord, that you are
mistaken," replied the Gascon, impudently, firm to the
promise he had just made to Anne of Austria.
"I opened the door of the ante-room myself and I saw you
enter at the end of the corridor."
"Because I was shown up the private stairs."
"How so?"
