Asquat on the cuckstool he folded out his paper, turning its pages over on his bared knees. Something new and easy. No great hurry. Keep it a bit. Our prize titbit: Matcham's Masterstroke. Written by Mr Philip Beaufoy, Playgoers' Club, London. Payment at the rate of one guinea a column has been made to the writer. Three and a half. Three pounds three. Three pounds, thirteen and six.
"The Dauphin knows nothing but that the gifts were mine." "Yours! Yes, yours, yours only, and you dared who is that at the table?" His voice rose shrilly into a cry. "That is not Paul Beaufoy." The shift of eyes, the change of voice, rather than the words themselves warned La Mothe. Round he spun, irresolute in surprise.
Nor was that all. There was even the hope that this poor devil of a La Mothe might say, "No, thank you!" to the order for arrest, and so give Paul Beaufoy opportunity to prove to the world at large, and the King in particular, that Paul Beaufoy was not to be trifled with, that Paul Beaufoy was as ready with his sword as clever with his head, and fit for something much better than arresting poor devils accused of God knows what.
"You, not me; I did not founder your horse." The half banter passed from his voice, and the bronzed face hardened. "And we have accounts enough as it is, the King and I." "Pray God he pays his debts and mine, and that I be there to see," retorted Beaufoy, exasperated out of all prudence. "Again, in the King's name I demand your help. I must have a horse. Two of your men can ride double."
But the authority sufficed, and at a motion from their leader the troop halted. "More energy than discretion," said he, with a glance at the disabled horse. "What can I do for you, and why in the King's name?" "My energy and discretion are my affair," answered Beaufoy, more nettled by his inability to dispute the truth than by the truth itself.
