The frigate which has brought the good De Chemerant is filled with arms and ammunition; there is in it enough to arm and revolutionize all the Cornishmen in the world; moreover, you can count on a dozen of your partisans." "Of my partisans! and where, then?" cried Monmouth. "On board Chemerant's frigate.
Believe me, then, your highness, by accepting all Chemerant's propositions, by seconding the plans of these two kings, you could scarcely hope to secure my pardon." "James! what he says is full of wisdom," said Angela. "I would not counsel you to be cowardly or egotistical, but he is right, you cannot deny it." The duke bent his head without answering.
"You must have been much heated by this morning sun," added the baron with a careless air, although he was piqued by De Chemerant's answer. "Very much heated, sir, and your guest also. You should offer him some refreshment." "I have thought of that, sir," replied the baron, "and have ordered three covers laid."
"Listen to me, your highness. You concede, do you not, that the news that comes from England, and the part Louis XIV. has taken in this conspiracy, prove the importance of Chemerant's mission?" "Without doubt." "You will, therefore, concede, your highness, that Chemerant relies upon the success of this mission for his good fortune?" "That is true."
I have long legs and strong as a stag's. The companion of Rend-your-Soul has taught me how to walk," replied the Gascon, smiling with a malicious air. "Now I swear to you that it will make the good Chemerant's escort take some pretty lively strides to keep up with me."
They will recognize me, and I shall be lost, now that I know De Chemerant's state secret." "The presence of those valiant nobles," replied De Chemerant, "has yet another object. Your highness ought not to be ignorant of it?" "Speak, sir; they seem to me to have excellent ideas, these dear friends."
But I think will you try this method? How many slaves can you arm, sir?" "You forget that De Chemerant's escort is considerable; the negro fishermen have gone there are not more than four or five men here. Violent means are impossible. Providence doubtless wills that I shall expiate a great crime. I will be resigned." "A crime, James? guilty of a great crime?
Yes, all well considered," resumed Croustillac after a moment of reflection, "to let De Chemerant's mistake last as long as possible, that is the better part for me to take." During these reflections Croustillac had dressed himself. "Now," he said, "let me see if there are any means of getting out of here secretly."
An imperious gesture from Croustillac closed De Chemerant's mouth; both of them gave an attentive ear to the conversation of Angela, and the filibuster, who, we must say, knew perfectly that they were overheard. "At last, my beautiful child," said Whirlwind, "you are free for a time at least." "If not forever," said Blue Beard, smiling.
