"Throw down your baton as I throw mine! I am ready."
And you are growing gray; you are a happy man to be able to get into such difficulties as these! How long is it since I Lieutenant Cottin had a mistress?" He rang the bell. "That police report must be destroyed," he added. "Monseigneur, you are as a father to me! I dared not mention my anxiety on that point."
It is there given on the authority of a principal professor in one of the Royal Colleges of Paris. The case, very similar to that of Angélique Cottin, occurred in the month of December previous, in the person of a young girl, not quite fourteen years old, apprenticed to a colorist, in the Rue Descartes.

"I put a key in the Bible and held it on my fingers while Cottin read the Gospel of St. John, and the key did not turn, madame." "Is that a certain sign?" the Countess asked. "Why, yes, madame! everybody knows that. He is still alive; I would stake my salvation on it; God cannot be mistaken."
