I scarcely saw the words which I put on the sheet, and I may be forgiven for the unwisdom of that which I wrote. "The Baron de Carondelet will send an officer for you to-night so that you may escape observation in custody.
She was smiling, yet looking at us with shining eyes. "The pleasure of having Mr. Ritchie get me out," he answered. "He has never failed me." "You are far from being out of this," I said. "If the Baron de Carondelet does not hang you or put you in the Morro, you will not have me to thank. It will be Madame la Vicomtesse d'Ivry-le-Tour." "Madame la Vicomtesse!" exclaimed Nick, puzzled.
Although exposed to the same fire as the Carondelet, he was equally fortunate, and ran the gauntlet with the same good fortune. The passage of these two ironclads sealed the fate of Island No. 10, for Pope could now cross the river, and, by taking position in the rear of the Confederate works, cut off the supplies of the garrison. The crossing was made and the enemy's batteries silenced.
In the excess of spirits that prosperity created he flirted rather openly with a number of virgins in Carondelet, to the scandal of Dunois, who forbade him his house, and of the priest, who put him under ban. For the priest he cared nothing, but Dunois's anger was more serious for the only maid of all that he really loved was Marie Dunois, his daughter.
After that Monsieur de Carondelet may throw me into prison, may hang me, may do anything he chooses. But I will go to her." I glanced anxiously at the Vicomtesse, well knowing how wilful he was when aroused. Admiration was in her eyes, seeing that he was heedless of his own danger. "You would not get through the gates of the city. Monsieur le Baron requires passports now," she said.

The first active step taken by Carondelet and De Lemos was to send the twelve thousand dollars to Wilkinson, as the foundation and earnest of the bribery fund. But the effort miscarried. The money was sent by two men, Collins Owen, each of whom bore cipher letters to Wilkinson, including some that were sewed into the collars of their coats.
The Baron de Carondelet, indefatigable man, aimed at digging a canal to relieve the city of its filth, but this would be the year when it was most needed, and it was not dug. Yes, Monsieur le Baron was energy itself. That other fever the political one he had scotched. "Ca Ira" and "La Marseillaise" had been sung in the theatres, but not often, for the Baron had sent the alcaldes to shut them up.
He went on into Carondelet Street and was drawing near the door and stairway leading to his friend's studio and his own little workroom above it, when suddenly from that very stairway and door issued she whom, alas! he might now no longer mistake for Marguerite, yet who, none the less for lessening hope, held him captive.
The advance, flagship Benton, Porter commanding, started at ten o'clock at night, followed at intervals of a few minutes by the Lafayette with a captured steamer, the Price, lashed to her side, the Louisville, Mound City, Pittsburgh and Carondelet all of these being naval vessels.
