He had fallen upon Marc Antoine's neck, and was embracing him. "Forgive me, my friend!" he besought him. "Come and dine with me to-morrow, and we will laugh over it together." But Marc Antoine had no mind to dine with Carrier, although he promised to do so readily enough.
I lay it upon you, as the command of the Church, that you return, my daughter. You have sinned most grievously." "Oh," said Hetty, with apparent irrelevance. "I understand now. You took me for a Catholic." It was Father Antoine's turn to stare. "Why then, if you are not, came you to me?" he said sternly. "I am here only as priest."
Anglice possessed the wild, strange beauty of her mother the bending, willowy form, the rich tint of skin, the large tropical eyes, that had almost made Antoine's sacred robes a mockery to him. For a month or two Anglice was wildly unhappy in her new home.
What he said as to the general aspect of things was true, but I didn't admit that it was true. Alice had converted me to the notion that I was a character in a story, a plaything of fate, and I lightly brushed aside Antoine's melancholy plaint. "Any man of you," I said, "who leaves this property will be brought back and shot. Tell that to the boys!"
The weak like to temporize. One night Émile Jardin and Anglice were not to be found. They had flown, but whither nobody knew, and nobody, save Antoine, cared. It was a heavy blow to Antoine, for he had half made up his mind to run away with her himself. A strip of paper slipped from a volume on Antoine's desk, and fluttered to his feet.
An angry exclamation came from Antoine's lips as the carefully prepared tea was spilled to the floor. In a moment, however, his face broke into a smile. "Too bad!" he said, "but accidents will happen. I'll make you some more! I'll have it ready in a moment." "We really would like some tea, notwithstanding our awkwardness," laughed Will, listening as he spoke for some further sound from his chum.
We can reach Père Antoine's cabin soon after midday, and we can tell him your father is a prisoner here. He would not come with us, Jacqueline, even if he were here. "And if he did, he might escape us on the way and wander back into the tunnels again. Leroux has no cause to harm him. Surely you see that, dear?
They were satisfied now that Pierre had never had possession of it, that he had been despatched as one familiar with the woods and the ways of Antoine, in the Sigsbee interests to secure it from the man who had purchased it at the pawn shop. Everything pointed, as has been stated, to Antoine's being the man who had taken it out of Chicago.
Spite of Father Antoine's disapproval, spite of his arbitrary Romanism, she trusted and liked him. "It is no matter if he does think me wrong," she said to herself. "That needn't disturb me if I know I am right. I think he is wrong to pray to the Virgin and the saints." Hetty had brought with her a sum of money more than sufficient to buy a little cottage, and fit it up with all needful comforts.
Saint Antoine's blood was up, and the blood of tyranny and domination by the iron hand was down down on the steps of the Hotel de Ville where the governor's body lay down on the sole of the shoe of Madame Defarge where she had trodden on the body to steady it for mutilation.
