Speak, Agatha; if that lovely form has within it ought that partakes of the weakness of a woman, tell me, that at some future time you will accept the love I offer you; tell me, that I may live in hope. Oh, Agatha! bid me not despair," and M. Denot in bodily reality fell prostrate at her feet.
"This is dreadful," said Denot, putting his hand to his brow, "this is very dreadful!" and he commenced pacing up and down the room. "Come," said she, good naturedly, "let us go down let us forget this little episode you have so much of happiness, and of glory before you, that I should grieve to see you mar your career by a hopeless passion.
Chapeau said that he did understand, and with a somewhat melancholy face, he returned to the noisy crowd, who were waiting for their victim in the front of the house. "Well, Jacques," said one of them, an elderly man, who had for the time taken upon himself the duties of a leader among them, and who was most loud in demanding that sentence should be passed upon Denot.
Don't I feel it now?" and again it seemed as though he were about to relapse into his frenzy; and then he continued speaking very gently, almost in a whisper: "Does de Lescure ever talk about the bridge of Saumur?" Now Henri, to this day, had never heard a word of the want of courage which Denot had shown in the passage of the bridge of Saumur.
They were seated together, planning the attack for the next morning. Denot was with Larochejaquelin, and d'Elbee and Stofflet were together with the detachment on the banks of the river: they were, therefore, alone when Father Jerome rushed into the room. "The men are off, M. de Lescure," said he: "do you not hear them?
"That's just what the people say," said Annot; "they say that it's M. Henri's turn to be generous now, and that they're sure he won't hurt a hair of this Santerre. Only they're determined on one thing and it was all Chapeau and Father Jerome could do to stop them till M. Henri came home they are determined to hang that horrid wretch Denot, the monster!
From that time, no tidings whatsoever were heard of Denot. He had never returned to his lodging, nor been seen anywhere, except in the stable, in which his horse had been put to stand he had himself saddled his horse, and taken him from the stall, and from that moment nothing further could be learnt of him in Saumur.
He had promised that he would not disgrace Denot, by telling of the cowardice he had shewn at the Bridge of Fouchard, and he was determined to keep his word; but he would not allow his cousin, his pupil, his bosom friend, the man whom he loved with the affection of a brother and a father, to sink himself to the same level as a coward. "How absurd is this!" said he, angrily.
He said nothing further, however, but trotted on quickly, till the cherry groves of Durbelliere were in sight, and then he halted to give his final orders to his men, and make arrangements that the house should be surrounded. "You remember our bargain, citizen General?" said Denot. "What bargain?" asked the brewer. "Why, about the young lady; the girl, you know," replied the other.
During April and the three weeks of May, Larochejaquelin and de Lescure, together with Cathelineau, Denot, and M. Bonchamps, were actively engaged in collecting and exhorting the people, planning what they should do, and preparing themselves to bear that burst of republican fury which they knew would, sooner or later, fall upon them.
