The assailants, some of the boldest of whom had suffered from de Varicourt's sword, were astonished and daunted by the sight of another Bodyguard in the same place. "Canaille! we know how to die!" he cried, and stood ready to strike the first on-comer. "So do we!" cried the Admiral, and struck at him, but tripped and was pulled back.
But I would like a little cottage for myself, and Miss Penny, and Lena. We could make three rooms do. Can we have three rooms?" Lapierre bowed low. "It shall be as you say," he replied.
