Somewhere in the Bastille a prisoner has been kept for years without a name, his face locked inside iron, and the only crime anyone can find in him is that he has the king's face. Aramis, now a bishop with a bishop's patience, looks at that resemblance and sees the whole of France waiting to be turned over.

By weakness; which, in princes, is always treachery.
The Man in the Iron Mask, Alexandre Dumas
