His three companions, Montbar, Adler and d'Assas, were there already. With them was a young man in the government livery of a bearer of despatches, namely a green and gold coat. His boots were dusty, and he wore a visored cap and carried the despatch-box, the essential accoutrements of a cabinet courier.
The whole way was deserted; it was probable, in fact certain, that no one had seen them. They could breathe freely. "Where are the Companions?" asked Morgan. "In the grotto," replied Montbar. "Why don't we go there at once?" "Because we shall find one of them at the foot of that beech, who will tell us if we can go further without danger." "Which one?" "D'Assas."
They are made of the skin of Claude Flageolet, corporal of the Third Battalion of Paris." At that moment the voice again called out, in the same order, the names of Morgan, Montbar, Adler and d'Assas. Morgan rushed out of the study, crossed the dancing-hall from end to end, and made his way to a little salon on the other side of the dressing-room.
And there ensued, not the SURPRISAL as it turned out, but the BATTLE OF KLOSTER KAMPEN; which again proved unsuccessful, or only half-successful, to the Hereditary Prince. This is where the Chevalier d'Assas, he or Somebody, gave the alarm to the Castries people at the expense of his life.
What he found there has already been set forth. It was about ten that evening when Hartley, who had left his people, after dinner was over, at the Marigny, reached the rue d'Assas. The street door was already closed for the night, and so he had to ring for the cordon. When the door clicked open and he had closed it behind him he called out his name before crossing the court to Ste.
As he disappeared in the rue d'Assas, the girl turned as if to go, but then suddenly remembering Hastings, looked at him and shook her head. "Monsieur Clifford is so perfectly harebrained," she smiled, "it is embarrassing sometimes. You have heard, of course, all about his success at the Salon?" He looked puzzled and she noticed it. "You have been to the Salon, of course?"
He remembered that he had left behind him no indication whatever of where he meant to spend the afternoon. Hartley would come hurrying across town that evening to the rue d'Assas, and would find no one there to receive him. He would wait and wait, and at last go home.

Hand-in-hand like frightened children, these two stole down the tunnel-like passageway, through a forlorn little court cramped between two tall old tenements, and so came out into the gloomy, sinuous and silent rue d'Assas.
For the rest, a noble bearing, great elegance of manners, scented like a dandy, carrying, either from caprice or luxury, a bottle of English smelling-salts, or a silver-gilt vinaigrette containing the most subtle perfumes. Montbar and Adler, whose real names were unknown, like those of d'Assas and Morgan, were commonly called by the Company "the inseparables."
