We have a king ten years old, who doesn't yet know what he wants; we have a queen blinded by a belated passion; we have a minister who governs France as he would govern a great farm -- that is to say, intent only on turning out all the gold he can by the exercise of Italian cunning and invention; we have princes who set up a personal and egotistic opposition, who will draw from Mazarin's hands only a few ingots of gold or some shreds of power granted as bribes.
Twenty Years After by Dumas, Alexandre View in context
But Maggie's face, made more childlike by the gathering tears, touched him with a tenderer, less egotistic feeling.
