"I am going to a masked ball to-night as a Grey Capuchin, and I want a mask that will match my robe." "Your wants are simple." From a shelf he brought down a box, took off the cover, and left me to make my selection. Soon I found what I desired and laid it aside, waiting for Monsieur Friard to return. Again I observed the other customer.
Besides, I have renounced politics; I will go and dine." M. Friard was right when he talked of 100,000 persons as the number of spectators who would meet on the Place de Greve and its environs, to witness the execution of Salcede.
"Into this inclosure," answered Miton tearing his hands by seizing the thorns of the hedge. "Into that inclosure, it is not so easy. I see no opening, and you cannot climb a hedge that is higher than I am." "I will try," returned Miton, making new efforts. "Oh! take care, my good woman," cried Friard, in a tone of distress; "your ass is on my feet.
M. Friard, following the direction of his friend's finger, saw them closing yet another door, while a party of Swiss placed themselves before it. "How! more barriers!" cried he. "What did I tell you?" said Miton. At the sight of this new precaution, a long murmur of astonishment and some cries of discontent proceeded from the crowd. "Clear the road! Back!" cried an officer.
Old Friard had accidentally done up the ticket with my mask. A Blue Domino; evidently I wasn't the only person who was going to a masquerade. Without doubt this fair demoiselle was about to join the festivities of some shop-girls' masquerade, where money and pedigree are inconsequent things, and where everybody is either a "loidy" or a "gent."
M. Miton imitated him at last after much detriment to his hands and clothes; but poor Friard could not succeed, in spite of all his efforts, till the stranger, stretching out his long arms, and seizing him by the collar of his doublet, lifted him over.
