Let each troop come out of Paris by a different gate; M. de Chalabre by the Porte Bourdelle; M. de Biron by the Porte du Temple, and you through the Porte St. Antoine. All other instructions are in the letters. Go quickly from here to the Croix Faubin, but then slowly; you have still two hours before dark, which is more than necessary. Now do you well understand your orders?"
These, instead of looking at the gate, fastened their gaze on the horizon, bounded by the Convent of the Jacobins, the Priory of Vincennes, and the Croix Faubin, as though they were expecting to see some one arrive.
"Theory, all theory; I may use my arms well, but the heart of a soldier is always wanting in a poor bourgeois like me. But time passes, and Jacques cannot be long; I will go and wait for him at the Croix Faubin." "I think that will be best." "Then you will tell him as soon as he comes?" "Yes." "And send him after me?" "I will not fail."
M. de Chalabre will command the first party, M. de Biron the second, and yourself the third." "Good, monsieur." "These letters are only to be opened at six o'clock. M. de Chalabre will open his at the Porte St. Antoine, M. de Biron his at the Croix Faubin, and you yours on your return." "Must we come quickly?" "As quickly as possible, without creating suspicion.
Now, go quickly, for I am in a hurry. The Hotel d'Epernon do not forget." Nicholas Poulain ran off, with a despairing look. "Ah! it was time," said Chicot, "for some one is leaving the priory. But it is not Jacques; that fellow is half as tall again." Chicot then hastened to the Croix Faubin, where he had given the rendezvous.
