I understand ; your intention is to render to Cæsar -- '' `` Not to Cæsar , sire -- Cæsar is the great general , the valiant warrior , the eldest brother , who wishes to be king of France . No , you must settle with him ; pay your debts , and I will pay mine . '' Henri did not like to hear his cousin of Guise spoken of , and this made him serious . It was three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at Juvisy and the great hotel of the `` Cour de France . '' Chicot , looking out of the litter , saw at the door of the hotel several men wrapped in cloaks . In the midst of them was a short , stout person , whose large hat almost covered his face . They went in quickly on seeing the litter , but not before the look of this person had had time to excite Chicot 's attention .
