Danecamp appeared. "Make your report," said Gourville. "Monsieur," replied the messenger, "we received orders to carry off the prisoners, and to cry 'Vive Colbert! whilst carrying them off."

"Very well, monsieur, we have nothing else to ask of you," said the abbe, more and more dejected, in proportion as the moment approached for finding himself alone with his brother. "Have you been paid?" asked Gourville. "Partly, monsieur," replied Danecamp. "Here are twenty pistoles. Begone, monsieur, and never forget to defend, as this time has been done, the true interests of the king."

Danecamp?" cried he, leaning half out of the window. "Well, it is all over," replied the cavalier. "All over!" cried the abbe. "Then they are saved?" "No, monsieur," replied the cavalier, "they are hung."
