Ten minutes afterward she was at home. As she told the queen, she had not seen her husband since his liberation; she was ignorant of the change that had taken place in him with respect to the cardinal--a change which had since been strengthened by two or three visits from the Comte de Rochefort, who had become the best friend of Bonacieux, and had persuaded him, without much trouble, was putting his house in order, the furniture of which he had found mostly broken and his closets nearly empty--justice not being one of the three things which King Solomon names as leaving no traces of their passage.
Diez minutos más tarde estaba en su casa; como le había dicho a la reina no había vuelto a ver a su marido desde su puesta en libertad; por tanto ignoraba el cambio que se había operado en él respecto del cardenal, cambio que habían logrado la lisonja y el dinero de Su Eminencia y que habían corroborado, luego, dos o tres visitas del conde de Rochefort, convertido en el mejor amigo de Bonacieux, al que había hecho creer sin mucho esfuerzo que ningún sentimiento culpable le había llevado al rapto de su mujer, sino que era solamente una precaución política.
