"The service of France, monsieur, is more important than your private affairs. I beg of you that you leave here at once." "But why, my friend? We can leave just as well in the morning. The box is safe." He felt his waistcoat pocket. "Safe, monsieur! Let me tell you that neither the box nor you yourself are safe for a moment, as long as you remain in Brussels.
"Give me less comfort, that I may give my mother more; a little money, ever so little, and take it out of my board: I can do with one meal a day, sir." The bookseller was moved: he took a huge pinch of snuff out of his waistcoat pocket, and mused a moment. He then said, as he re-examined Philip: "Well, young man, I'll tell you what we will do.
