Ah! now the critical moment approaches. I am sometimes tempted to disclose all to the good man Chemerant. Yes, but I think that each hour gained removes the duke and his wife three or four leagues further from Martinique.
"Was it this wretch? your highness," said the envoy, pointing to Monmouth, who, standing with arms crossed, remained by the chair where Angela had seated herself, ready to defend her and to sell his life dearly, for, as we have said, he was ignorant of the adventurer's intention. "Speak the word, your highness," continued De Chemerant, "and I will hand him over to my guards."
Nevertheless, it will be somewhat unpleasant to no longer hear myself addressed as 'my lord duke, to say nothing of my laughing in my sleeve when I think of all the absurdities which I have made that good De Chemerant, with his important air, swallow.
These brave men are waiting for me, that is to say, waiting for you, your highness, with great impatience. There is above all a madman named Mortimer, whom De Chemerant had the greatest difficulty in the world to keep on board, so much was he possessed with the desire to embrace me I would say embrace you, for I confound us all the time."
Croustillac prayed the baron to have the pannier, of which one of the two guards had taken charge, and which, as we know, contained only Croustillac's old garments, brought to his room. Chemerant was in the room of the Gascon when the pannier was brought in.
"That is true," responded De Chemerant; "such strange things have taken place on land that neither he nor I thought of it; but I will give him one of my people. Just now the important thing is to set sail." "That is also the opinion of the captain. He gave me orders to wake him if you judged it necessary to depart at once."
"Your esteem, scoundrel," cried Croustillac indignantly, interrupting the duke. "Is it, indeed, to me that you dare speak thus? Your esteem " "But, sir " "Not another word," continued Croustillac, turning toward Angela. "Madame, will you follow me? Is it yes or no?" "But listen " "Is it yes or no?" exclaimed he, walking toward the door; "answer, or I will call De Chemerant." "But by St.
Lord Mortimer, Lord Dudley and Lord Rothsay gave vent to cries of the wildest joy at the sight of the Duke of Monmouth. "James! our brave duke! to see you to see you again at last!" "Is it possible? you are the Duke of Monmouth, my lord?" cried De Chemerant. "Yes, I am James of Monmouth," said the duke, "as is proved by the joyful acclamations of my friends." "Yes, there is our James!"
Two hours later De Chemerant started for Devil's Cliff at the head of thirty of the Governor's Guards, armed to the teeth. A litter, drawn by two mules, followed this little detachment, preceded by the guide.
"There are, however, very few circumstances in which one refuses an escort," said the governor, with an air of astonishment. "There are very few, indeed, baron, but there are some," said Chemerant brusquely, while withdrawing. Croustillac had been conducted to the finest apartment in the house.
