Several wooden benches occupied the space between the bar and the chairs of the judges; and upon these the prisoners were seated, eleven on each bench and so close together that it was almost impossible for them to make the slightest movement. On their right stood the arm chair of the prosecuting attorney, or "accusateur;" on their left, were the seats of the jurors.
Then he crossed his arms upon his breast and glowered defiance on the indignant and wrathful judges. "Arrest that man!" thundered the public accusateur. Two gendarmes sprang forward, and the officer who had just spoken added: "Citizen judges, I place this prisoner at your bar. Question him that the citizen jurors may decide upon his fate."
While this conversation was going on between Antoinette and Dolores, Philip, terribly pale, questioned Coursegol and learned from him what had taken place. He envied this devoted servant who was about to die with Dolores. He vainly strove to discover some means by which he could draw down upon his own head the wrath of the accusateur, Fouquier-Tinville, and be sent at once to the scaffold.
The accusateur general who sat on the left, wore a costume similar to that of the judges, without the scarf.
