On the following morning, by break of day, the party left Durbelliere, and Adolphe Denot joined his friend on the gravelled ring before the house; and Agatha, who had been with her brother in his room, looking from the widow saw her unmanageable lover mount his horse in a quiet, decent way, like the rest of the party. Nothing interfered to oppose the advance of the royalist troops towards Saumur.
Marie and Madame de Lescure reached the village safely late in the evening, and found no one in the smith's house but Annot. Even Michael Stein himself had been moved by hearing that the republicans were absolutely in possession of the chateau, and, old as he was, he had made his way over to Durbelliere, and had not yet returned.
Oh, Henri, my own dearest brother, do not let him come to Durbelliere; prevent him in some way; go to him for a while; make some plan with him; and give me warning when he is coming, and I will be at Clisson with Marie." "Will it not be better for both of you, Agatha, that you should understand each other? I know he loves you, though he has not told me so.
To Marie she was more explicit; to her she repeated as nearly as possible the whole scene as it had occurred; and although Agatha was almost weeping with sorrow, there was so much that was ludicrous in the affair, that Marie could not keep herself from laughing. "He will trouble you no more," said she. "You will find that he will not return to Durbelliere to carry you off through the armed hosts.
If he would prize it, I fear he might have it for the asking for; but I will not throw it at his feet, that he should keep it loosely for awhile, and then scorn it, and lay it by." On the Monday following the meeting at Durbelliere, Larochejaquelin, Denot, the Cure of St.
Chatillon was in the very centre of the revolted district, and not above three leagues from Durbelliere; and at this place the Vendean leaders had now determined to assemble, that they might come to some fixed plan, and organize their resistance to the Convention. De Lescure and Henri together agreed to give Santerre his unconditional liberty.
"He is no republican, Chevalier," said Chapeau, "that's quite certain, nor yet any of the family; but he is a very black man, and when once angered, not easy to be smoothed down again; and if M. Henri will allow Jean and Peter to come on to Durbelliere, I can, perhaps, manage to go back with them on Sunday, and Michael Stein will mind me more than he will them: I can knock into his thick head better than they can do, the high honour which has befallen the lads, in their chancing to have been among the red scarfs."
Even though he might live out a few more weary years, even though the cause to which he was attached should be victorious, yet he knew that Durbelliere would be destroyed, and it never could be anything to him how the sun set or rose in any other place.
And as she asked the question, she closed her eyes, and her whole body trembled violently. "I will tell you all that happened another time, love," said he; "we will not talk of these things now. A day or two at Durbelliere will restore you to your spirits, and then we will rejoice over our escape."
