Carteaux entered Avignon on the twenty-sixth; on the twenty-seventh he collected his force and departed, reaching Tarascon on the twenty-eighth, and on the twenty-ninth Beaucaire.
Only one hand is better than that, and it would be impossible to get such a hand out of one pack." "That is exactly true, Haines. I am no card player, but I do know that much about the game. Yet Kirby took the pot with a straight flush. Now, either he, or Carver, slipped an extra ace into the pack, or else Beaucaire did. In my opinion the Judge had no chance to work such a trick.
Certainly this method of procedure looked feasible to me; I saw in it no probability of failure, for, no matter how many friends the gambler might have in camp, or the influence they could exert in his behalf, they could never overcome the united testimony I was now able to produce. The mere statement of the girl that she was Eloise Beaucaire would be sufficient to free her.
I expressed this desire for food, and the negro instantly busied himself over the fire. I watched his movements with interest, although my thoughts quickly drifted to other matters. "Have you picked up any news lately from the Beaucaire plantation?" I asked, at last. He twisted his head about at sound of my voice.
I now seemed walking on air, for I loved and was loved by Madeleine. A few days after our return from Beaucaire, Marie Lefevre burst in on us with troubled looks, and exclaimed, "Have you seen my boy?" "No!" exclaimed we all. "Then something has befallen him," cried she, wringing her hands. "We have lost sight of him." We gathered about her, full of pity, and asked where he had last been seen.
Why, I never felt the horror of it all before I am not Eloise Beaucaire!" A moment I stood motionless, seeming to hold my breath, my eyes open, struck silent by the intense bitterness of that cry. Then the reaction came, the knowledge that I must turn her thought elsewhere. "Do not say that, or even think it," I urged, scarcely able to restrain myself from grasping her in my arms.
Molyneux heaved a great sigh of relief. "Shall I " He turned to M. Beaucaire. The young man laughed, and said: "Tell him come here at once. "Impudent to the last!" cried Bantison, as Molyneux hurried from the room. "Now you goin' to see M. Beaucaire's master," said Beaucaire to Lady Mary. "'Tis true what I say, the other night. I cross from Prance in his suite; my passport say as his barber.
"Merci, M. le Duc!" he laughed, rising and stepping back from the table. The Englishman cried out, "It means the dirty work of silencing you with my bare hands!" and came at him. "Do not move," said M. Beaucaire, so sharply that the other paused. "Observe behind you."
But I'll give you one chance just one. Don't you dare call out, or answer me. Do what I say. Now step back back along the table; that's it, a step at a time. Oh, I knew you were a cowardly bully. Go on yes, clear to that window; don't lower those hands an inch until I say you may. I am a slave yes, but I am also a Beaucaire. Now reach behind you, and pull up the sash pull it up higher than that."
"And, in spite of that drop of black blood, as long as we are together, you will hold me a woman, worthy of respect and honor? Not a creature, a chattel, a plaything?" "Will you accept my hand?" "Yes." "Then I will answer you, Rene Beaucaire," I said, soberly, "with all frankness, black or white I am your friend, and never, through any word or act of mine, shall you ever regret that friendship."
