"You will no doubt excuse me" said the General with a slight smile "for not having acted more rigorously in the matter of the suspected 'Pasquin Leroy'! I am afraid I should never have summed up sufficient impudence to ask the King to sign a warrant against himself!" Perousse muttered an inarticulate oath by way of reply. He realised fully that the game for him was lost.

The smell of dinner always fetches him home." We had scarce done speaking when I heard his step at the door, and presently he came in.
He had taken to turning things over around the fire just as though some one had given him a sheriff's search warrant, and he meant to use it to the limit.
