He had wished to see them married; and, though he had not exactly told his friend as much, he had said so much that both Agatha and Denot knew what his wishes were. This, of course, gave great encouragement to the lover, but it greatly grieved poor Agatha; and now that Adolphe was gone, she made up her mind to open her heart to her brother. A day or two before the revolt of St.
"Adolphe," he said, in a voice intended to express all the tenderness which he felt, "I am delighted to have found you." Denot had rushed to a miserable deal table which stood near his bed, and seized his sword, which stood upon it; and now stood armed and ready for assault, opposite to the man who loved him so dearly.
Adolphe Denot survived this last effort of his troubled spirit, but a few moments; the sepulchral rattle in his throat soon told the sad tale of his dissolution; and Plume hurrying up to the bed-head, assisted Henri in composing the limbs of the dead man.
"There there now they come now they come. By heavens, there's Denot leading and see, there's de Bauge and Arthur dear boy, gallant boy. Well done, Henri Larochejaquelin: had you been grey it could not have been better done; he has got the blues as it were into a wine-press; poor devils, not one can escape alive."
"I never liked that man," said the priest, whispering to Arthur and Chapeau, for the latter, from his exertion and zeal was looked upon rather as an officer in the royalist army, than as a servant. "I never liked Adolphe Denot, but I could never say why. The tone of his voice was disagreeable to me, and the expression of his features aroused in me both dislike and distrust.
"I think the young one has the best of it," said Santerre; "but come, citizen Denot, your loves and your quarrels are troublesome to us; we have other work to attend to. Get up, man, get up, I tell you."
"That Louis and his family should be imprisoned in the Temple," answered Denot. "Did they say the King, or did they call him by his name?" asked de Lescure again. "Did they decree that the King should be imprisoned, or Louis Capet?" As he spoke, the door again opened, and another member, who had been among the crowd, entered the room.
I'm not presuming to find fault with her, Mademoiselle; heaven forbid! Of course, if she couldn't love him, she could do nothing but refuse him. But, heigho! it's a very dreadful thing to think of that a nice young man like him for I'm told that this Denot was a very nice young man should be so bewildered by love as he has been."
I shouldn't wonder if he were swinging by this time." "And is it really true," said Madame de Lescure, "that it was M. Denot who led the republicans to Durbelliere?" "Oh! that's a positive fact," said Annot, "there's no doubt on earth about that; and behaved most brutally to Mademoiselle Agatha. He would have killed her with his own hand, before her father, only M. Santerre wouldn't let him.
If the half of it be true, St. Florent has made a fine beginning for us." "Glorious fellows!" said Adolphe. "What would I not give to have been with them?" "You will have plenty of opportunity, M. Denot," said the priest, who held Adolphe in great aversion.
