She called him very softly: "Deutz! Deutz!" The Baron came towards her, smiling and well-pleased with himself, and leaned his elbows on the edge of the box. "Tell me, Monsieur Deutz, when you met me yesterday, were you in very bad company that you did not raise your hat to me?" He looked at her in astonishment. "I? I was with my sister." "Oh!"
After being so long accustomed to rebuke him for his persistence there was novelty in finding him do the work for her. The guess might even have been hazarded that there was also disappointment. Still looking across the river at the bridge of boats which stretched to the opposite suburb of Deutz: 'You need not blame yourself, she said, with the mildest conceivable manner, 'I can make allowances.
Escaping from observation, he landed on the Deutz side of the river, repaired to a comfortable and quiet hostel there, saying he had had an accident from a boat, and thus accounting for the moisture of his habiliments, and while these were drying before a fire in his chamber, went snugly to bed, where he mused, not without amaze, on the strange events of the day.
She plays in the fourth act. Baron Deutz has come to display himself." "Just wait a minute, my children; I have a word to say to that ill-mannered cub. He met me yesterday in the Place de la Concorde, and he didn't bow to me." "What, Baron Deutz? He couldn't have seen you!" "He saw me perfectly well. But he was with his people. I am going to have him on toast. Just you watch, my dears."
At the appointed hour he proceeded to the Champs Elysées, with a brace of pistols ready in his coat-pockets. At the spot indicated in the letter he perceived a man standing, who seemed agitated with fear and doubt. He approached and accosted this man. It was Deutz. A conference was opened, which ended in a base crime.
It was the 6th of November. In the following words Louis Blanc describes the preparations made for her arrest: "The first communication between M. Thiers and Deutz took place under the following circumstances: M. Thiers one day received a letter wherein a stranger begged him to repair in the evening to the Champs Elysées, promising to make him a communication of the very highest importance.
No sooner had Deutz withdrawn than bayonets glittered in every direction, and commissioners of police rushed into the house, with pistols in their hands. The duchess had barely time to take refuge, with three companions, in a small recess behind the fire-place, which was adroitly concealed by an iron plate back of the chimney. The police commenced a minute search, calling masons in to aid them.
Marie Caroline, however, had solved these difficult problems by her own misconduct. Meantime the premiership of France passed into the hands of M. Thiers. A Jew a Judas named Deutz, came to him mysteriously, and bargained to deliver into his hands the Duchesse de Berri. Thiers, who had none of the pity felt for her by the Orleans family, closed with the offer.
The peerage would have recoiled with horror from passing judgment upon a princess, who endeavored to gain the throne for a child, who was entitled to that throne by the avowed principles of legitimacy. A renegade Jew, by the name of Deutz, at length betrayed her. By the most villainous treachery he obtained an interview with the duchess, and then informed the police of the place of her retreat.
You might take them for ghosts, those gray horsemen, so shadowy do they look; but you hear the trample of their hoofs as they pass over the planks. Every minute the dawn twinkles up into the twilight; and over Deutz the heaven blushes brighter. The quays begin to fill with men: the carts begin to creak and rattle, and wake the sleeping echoes.
