Since they will not accept an invitation, compel them to obey a command. Bring them up at once, Guyot." "At once, Captain," was the answer, and Guyot went about the business. Charlot closed the window and approached the table. "They are coquettish these scented dames," he mocked, as he poured himself out some wine. "You are not drinking Caron."
The man made up his mind, hurriedly put on his coat and hat, and switched off the electric lights in the exquisitely appointed dressing-room. "I'll go!" he said aloud. "If I see anything suspicious, or if at the end of half an hour I don't see M. Valgrand leaving the house well!" Charlot turned the key in the lock. "Yes, I will go. I shall be much easier in my mind!"
Well, my dear sir, she saved his life, he married her, and they have a fine child; Ma'am Bordevin, the butcher's wife in the Rue Charlot, a relative of hers, stood godmother. There is luck for you! "As for me, I am married; and if I have no children, I don't mind saying that it is Cibot's fault; he is too fond of me, but if I cared never mind.
Though glory called him to encounter Bruhier, and the safety of Christendom demanded the destruction of this proud enemy of the faith, Ogier only yielded at last on condition that Charlot should be delivered into his hands to be dealt with as he should see fit.
Ogier had risen to reply, when he was interrupted by Charlot, who said that the gage of the King of Mauritania could not fitly be received by a vassal, living in captivity; by which he meant Ogier, who was at that time serving as hostage for his father.
"What joy!" cried Coralie, as soon as Camusot had departed. "You will not go back now to your garret in the Latin Quarter; you will live here. We shall always be together. You can take a room in the Rue Charlot for the sake of appearances, and vogue le galere!" She began to dance her Spanish dance, with an excited eagerness that revealed the strength of the passion in her heart.
When Dame Capoulade had withdrawn, after bringing them their wine and casting a few logs upon the fire, La Boulaye turned his back to the hearth and confronted his host. "Why are you not with the army, Charlot?" he asked in a tone which made the question sound like a demand. "Have they not told you," rejoined the other airily, engrossed in filling the glasses.
To which Laeghaire replied: "Honor to the senior, truly," said he, "and converse with the learned; but if jewels and treasures are given to any one, however, I will not deprive him of them." They came away, and Patrick with them, and Patrick gave his chariot to Conall, so that it was the thirteenth charlot.
Was not Santerre, the brewer, become a great general, and was not Robespierre, the obscure lawyer of Arras, by way of becoming a dictator? Was it, therefore, wonderful that Charlot should have passed from peasant to preacher, from preacher to soldier, and from soldier to what?
But La Boulaye was not there on any mission of sympathy, nor did he waste words in conveying his news. "The coach is gone," he announced emphatically. "Coach? What coach?" asked the Captain, knitting his brows. "What coach?" echoed La Boulaye testily. "How many coaches were there? Why, the Bellecour coach; the coach with the treasure." At that Charlot grew very wide-awake.
