The Lick House and the Masonic Temple were not on fire then. I next went to Pine and Dupont Streets, and from that point could see that the Hall of justice and all the buildings in that vicinity were on fire. Very few people were on the street. Goldberg, Bowen & Co. were loading goods into wagons from their store on Sutter Street, between Grant Avenue and Kearny.
Dr. Dupont, who entered the room during this paroxysm, suggested to the count the propriety of withdrawing. The latter, although every word Maurice uttered inflicted a deadly pang, could not, at first, be induced to tear himself away.
But when, a little later, a fire swept down Dupont Street and laid the poor tent in ashes, spoiling the desolate house whose beautiful lar had flitted, when his wife went moaning maudlinly among the yet warm ashes, and groping, in mean misery, with a stick, for some charred nothing she would cheat the Spoiler of, there was a dangerous quality in Pintal's look, as, with folded arms and vacant eyes, he seemed to stare upon, yet not to see, the shocking scene.
"I never should have dreamed it." "Still," said the heir, "he keeps his eloquence for cows, and not for dinners." "He talked very well at Dr. Purple's," said the mamma, whose opinion of Peter had undergone a change. "And he was invited to call by Mrs. Dupont and Mrs. Sizer, which is more than you've ever been," said Avery senior to Avery junior.
Leaning on the arm of Louis Blanc, the youngest member of the Government, the venerable Dupont de l'Eure, the eldest, accompanied by the other members, now appeared on the balcony of the room formerly called the Chamber of the Throne, but now the Chamber of the Republic!
Madame Dupont laid her hand upon her son's. "Yes, George," she said tenderly. "I know. You are such a good boy." Now, of course, George did not feel that he was quite such a good boy; but his mother was a deeply religious woman, who had no idea of the truth about the majority of men.
A far more signal catastrophe had befallen another powerful corps d'armée, under General Dupont, which marched from Madrid towards the south, with the view of suppressing all symptoms of insurrection in that quarter, and, especially, of securing the great naval station of Cadiz, where a French squadron lay, watched, as usual, by the English.
"Oh," I cried, "I only wish I had never gone near Dupont Street. I am so sorry I have made you unhappy!" "Well, my dear child, this is no time for regretting what has been done. We must think of ourselves only as two citizens of the state, and be ready to do all we can in that cause. You know it will not be easy, it will be made as difficult as possible for you to answer straightly."
Dupont saw it, and jumped just as he pulled the trigger." "I thought so. The poor devil got the wrong man." "Why? Were those two enemies?" "They had been partners, stealing and running cattle. Dupont had cheated Hughes out of his share, and there was bad blood between them. I ran across the fellow up on the Cimarron, waiting for Dupont to come back to his old range.
"What is that?" demanded Raikes, diverted, if not convinced, by the sensible observations of his nephew. "You have heard of Gratz?" inquired Robert. "Of the secret service?" "Yes." "Ah!" cried the old man; "to submit the case to him means another in the secret, with little prospect of advantage." "I am not so sure about that," returned Robert. "Do you recall the Dupont mystery?" Raikes nodded.
