"That you might carry something, I suppose, you great lazy fellow." The card was looked at and found all right, and the family passed on in the same order as before. The fourth man advanced and gave his name as Chalabre. It was found correct, and he also entered. Then came M. de Carmainges. He got off his horse and presented his card, while the page hid his face by pretending to adjust the saddle.
"Well! listen, Carmainges," said the duchess, with a gentle familiarity which filled the heart of the young man with joy; "this is what you must do, whenever you think you shall be at liberty send a note here to the hostess, and every day I will send a man to inquire." "Oh! mon Dieu! madame, you are too good!" "What is that noise?" said the duchess, laying her hand on his arm.
Both the young men held out their hands. The king was embarrassed. "What is your name?" said he. "Ernanton de Carmainges, sire." "And yours?" "Rene de St. Maline." "M. de Carmainges, you shall carry the letter, and you, M. de St. Maline, shall deliver it." Ernanton took the precious deposit, and was going to place it in his doublet, when St.
"At least, gentlemen, do me the favor to tell me " "Why it is M. de Carmainges!" said the man who had seized his sword. "M. de Pincornay!" cried Ernanton. "Oh, fie; what a bad trade you have taken up." "I said silence," cried the voice of the chief; "and take this man to the depot." "But, M. de St. Maline, it is our companion, Ernanton de Carmainges." "Ernanton here!" cried St.
"And proceed till you overtake a man traveling alone." "Will your majesty describe him?" said St. Maline. "He has long arms and legs, and has a large sword by his side." "May we know his name, sire?" asked Carmainges. "He is called 'the Shade." "We will ask the name of every traveler we see, sire." "And we will search the hotels." "When you find him, give him this letter."
He descended from the step, as the statue of the commander from his pedestal, and walked straight up to St. Maline, firmly, but quietly. At this sight, several voices cried, "Come here, Ernanton; come this side, Carmainges; there is room here." "Thank you," replied the young man; "but it is near M. de St. Maline that I wish to sit." St. Maline rose, and all eyes were fixed on him.
"Yes," replied De Loignac; "all are equal before the will of the master." "Oh!" cried Carmainges, coloring; "I do not know that M. d'Epernon would be called my master." "Wait!" "I did not expect that." "Wait, hot head! I did not tell you who was to be your master." "No; but you said we should have one."
"Madame," replied he, "it is midnight, and at nine all fires ought to be extinguished; there is a fire now in your turret, and I must see what disobedient subject is transgressing the king's edicts." And St. Maline continued to advance, followed by several others. "Mon Dieu! M. de Carmainges," cried the duchess, "will those people dare to enter here?" "I am here, madame; have no fear."
The horses were now seen making their way through the crowd, and creating everywhere an opening which closed immediately behind them. As they passed the corner of the Rue St. Vannerie, a handsome young man, whom we have seen before, was pushed forward impatiently by a young lad, apparently about seventeen. It was the Vicomte Ernanton de Carmainges and the mysterious page.
It is far from this to the Louvre, and some misfortune may happen to one of us on the road," and as he spoke, Ernanton's eyes flashed in their turn. "You are wise," said Chicot, drawing his tablets from his pocket, from which he tore out two pages and wrote on each, "Received from the hands of St. Maline the letter brought by M. Ernanton de Carmainges. "Adieu, monsieur," said St.
