Le Duc d'Orleans, who instantly came in the firstconveyance he could lay his hands on. He exhorted the Cardinal to sufferthe operation; then asked the faculty, if it could be performed insafety. They replied that they could say nothing for certain, but thatassuredly the Cardinal had not two hours to live if he did not instantlyagree to it. M. Le Duc d'Orleans returned to the sick man, and beggedhim so earnestly to do so, that he consented. The operation was accordingly performed about five o'cl...ock, and in fiveminutes, by La Peyronie, chief surgeon of the King, and successor toMarechal, who was present with Chirac and others of the most celebratedsurgeons and doctors. The Cardinal cried and stormed strongly. M. LeDuc d'Orleans returned into the chamber directly after the operation wasperformed, and the faculty did not dissimulate from him that, judging bythe nature of the wound, and what had issued from it, the Cardinal hadnot long to live. He died, in fact, twenty-four hours afterwards, on the10th, of August, at five o'clock in the morning, grinding his teethagainst his surgeons and against Chirac, whom he had never ceased toabuse.
