They promptly marched on and occupied Saint Denis, pillaging that town and carrying off as a trophy the arms which Joan of Arc had placed by the shrine of Saint Denis, in the ancient basilica of Dagobert. The other towns, which had so recently returned to their allegiance to Charles, were again abandoned to the English, who punished them by levying large ransoms on the citizens.
Questions were answered and explanations given in Captain Chubb's most blunt and straightforward way, before the captain turned his searching eyes upon Uncle Paul. "Then you are Dr Robson, sir?" he said. "Yes. May I ask " "You are here carrying out a scientific research?" "Yes." "In company with your consort, Count Des Saix, of the French brig Dagobert?" "That's quite right, sir; but may I ask "
Denis was founded about 625 by Dagobert, son of Lothair II, at some distance from the basilica which the clergy of Paris had erected in the fifth century over the saint's tomb. Long renowned as the place of burial for most of the kings of France, the abbey of St. Denis had a particular importance in Abélard's day by reason of its close association with the reigning monarch.
Therefore, it is upon him that you and yours must fix all your doubts and suspicions; it is against him that you must be upon your guard. For, believe me, I know him, and he does not look upon the game as lost. You must be prepared for new attacks, doubtless of another kind, but only the more dangerous on that account " "Luckily, you give us notice," said Dagobert, "and you will be on our side."
"To whom, then? to whom?" "To this gentleman," said Gabriel, pointing to Father d'Aigrigny. "To him!" exclaimed Dagobert, overwhelmed by the news; "to him the renegade who has always been the evil genius of this family!" "But, brother," cried Agricola, "did you then know your claim to this inheritance?"
"It is as he says," said the General, "and the very memory of her who is lost to me does no more than produce in me that gentle sadness which is so soothing to the heart. But I hope our friend Dagobert will go on to tell you what happened to us further."
"So that she is not able to earn her living." "No but her son, M. Agricola, works for her. He looks so good, so gay, so frank, and so happy to devote himself for his mother. Oh, indeed! he is the worthy brother of our angel Gabriel!" "You will see my reason for speaking of this. Our good old Dagobert told us, that, when we arrived here, he had only a few pieces of money left." "That is true."
Rose and Blanche looked at Dagobert in amazement, without uttering a word. "Now, children," said he to them, "the doors of the inn are shut, and it is by this way," pointing to the window, "that we must pass if we would not be arrested, put in prison you in one place, and I in the other and have our journey altogether knocked on the head." "Arrested! put in prison!" cried Rose.
"No doubt, then, Mdlle. de Cardoville was ignorant of the existence of these papers," said the sempstress. "That was my first idea, since she was recommended to open the letter immediately, and, notwithstanding this recommendation, which bore date two years back, the seals remained untouched." "It is evident," said Dagobert. "What did you do?"
But after the death of King Dagobert I., in A.D. 638, the royal family seemed devoid of any mental or moral strength whatsoever, and the kings of this line have been always known as fainéants weak idlers. The real power of the government was held by a succession of chief officers of the household, styled "Mayors of the Palace."
