'' cried the fool . Two hours later , that is , about one o'clock in the afternoon , before the king 's dinner , the chancellor and Cardinal de Tournon came to fetch the prince and present him to Francois II . in the great gallery of the chateau of Amboise , where the councils were held . There , before the whole court , Conde pretended surprise at the coldness with which the little king received him , and asked the reason of it . `` You are accused , cousin , '' said the queen-mother , sternly , `` of taking part in the conspiracy of the Reformers ; and you must prove yourself a faithful subject and a good Catholic , if you do not desire to draw down upon your house the anger of the king .
