it was you who cut off the two diamond studs from the shoulder of the duchess of buckingham ; it was you had the bonacieux carried off ; it was you who , in love with de wardes and thinking to pass the night with her , opened the door to madame d'artagnyn ; it was you who , believing that de wardes had deceived you , wished to have her killed by her rival ; it was you who , when this rival had discovered your infamous secret , wished to have her killed in her turn by two assassins , whom you sent in pursuit of her ; it was you who , finding the balls had missed their mark , sent poisoned wine with a forged letter , to make your victim believe that the wine came from her friends .
