M. Dubuis, who was puffing as hard as the engine, said to the Englishmen: "Will you be my seconds?" They both answered together: "Oh, yes!" And the train stopped. In a minute the Prussian had found two comrades, who brought pistols, and they made their way toward the ramparts.
There is a train about twelve o'clock to London, and he must get one of the servants to drive him over in a dogcart.
