La Comtesse douairière : To think that your bankrupt father hawked you to us like a peasant with no dowry.
Jeanne de Luynes : You're insulting me because you're frightened.
La Comtesse douairière : Yes, I am frightened. The entire court is. All because of you. His majesty has locked himself up in Rivoli. He assembled the court this morning and made it known that he will not return unless you'll join him. Who do you think you are?
Jeanne de Luynes : I love your son. I know he'll protect me. I'll send a courier to Madrid and he will...
La Comtesse douairière : He will not. I will not have you ruin my son's prospects with the king.
