The tonic effect of the words was supreme; the sob was strangled in Max's throat; a swift, pained certainty came to him that Blake would not have spoken these words in the plantation that morning, would not have spoken them as they raced together up the Escalier de Sainte-Marie. "I understand, mon ami!" he said, tensely.
He set out with Louis to Chambord, resolved to take the first opportunity favorable to his design. It soon presented itself. The very morning of the day appointed for the chase, the King sent word to him that he was waiting for him on the Escalier du Lys.

"Bon!" cried he, with an air of vexation. "Si madame la vent absolument, a la bonne heure! Mais madame sera abimee. Madame verra que j'ai raison. Madame ne montera jamais ce vilain escalier. D'ailleurs c'est au cinquieme.
