As for Tabary, a broad, complacent, admiring imbecility breathed from his squash nose and slobbering lips: he had become a thief, just as he might have become the most decent of burgesses, by the imperious chance that rules the lives of human geese and human donkeys. At the monk's other hand, Montigny and Thevenin Pensete played a game of chance.

In August of that same year, he was laid by the heels on many grievous counts; sacrilegious robberies, frauds, incorrigibility, and that bad business about Thevenin Pensete in the house by the cemetery of St. John.

Montigny, for instance, had neglected neither of these extremes, and we find him accused of cheating at games of hazard on the one hand, and on the other of the murder of one Thevenin Pensete in a house by the Cemetery of St. John. If time had only spared us some particulars, might not this last have furnished us with the matter of a grisly winter's tale?

Alas! the document was incomplete; it did not contain the full tale of Montigny's enormities; it did not recite that he had been denied benefit of clergy, and it said nothing about Thevenin Pensete. Montigny's hour was at hand. Benefit of clergy, honourable descent from king's pantler, sister in the family way, royal letters of commutation all were of no avail.

Exit Thevenin Pensete. Your dagger doesn't grow rusty!" Jehan's grey face grew greyer and uglier, but he kept his countenance. "Monseigneur," he answered, "I loved him like a brother." "As Cain loved Abel," Villon said. He made a sign, and Jehan le Loup was taken back to his fellows. So far Villon had been sufficiently diverted.

Hunger that causes the wolf to sally from the wood, may well make a man do worse than steal. I could tell you For example, you might ask in Hell of one Thevenin Pensete, who knifed him in the cemetery of Saint John." He hinted a lie, for it was Montigny who killed Thevenin Pensete. Villon played without scruple now. Catherine's face was white.

The friendly demeanour of the great man cheered the prisoner and he answered bluffly: "My good conscience sustains me." Villon's demeanour was still amicable as he put his next question in a voice that came only to Jeban's ears. "I am glad to hear it. How did Thevenin Pensete come to his death?"
