Camus had just concluded his evidence, and was bowing to the court, a smile on his traitor's face as he listened to some words of compliment addressed to him by De Mouchy. Simon, the man I wanted, was nowhere to be seen, though my eyes, fierce with hatred, searched for him everywhere.
"Approved," said De Mouchy. "And the Chambre Ardente can act whenever the said court thinks fit." "That is, when you, as president, think fit?" "Precisely, Monsieur le Vidame." "This, however, is not enough," Simon went on.
