"I mean," insisted Frowenfeld, "Is there no man who can stand between you and those who wrong you, and effect a peaceful reparation?" The landlord slowly moved away, neither he nor his tenant speaking, but each knowing that the one man in the minds of both, as a possible peacemaker, was Honoré Grandissime. "Should the opportunity offer," continued Joseph, "may I speak a word for you myself?"
As Frowenfeld, with every demonstration of beseeching kindness, began to speak, he lifted his eyes and said, piteously: "Stop! Stop!" "Citizen Fusilier, it is you who must stop. Stop before God Almighty stops you, I beg you. I do not presume to rebuke you. I know you want a clear record. I know it better to-day than I ever did before. Citizen Fusilier, I honor your intentions "
"Yes; and who took her to her home at last, but Frowenfeld, the apothecary!" "Ho, ho! the astrologer! We ought to hang that fellow." "With his books tied to his feet," suggested a third citizen. "It is no more than we owe to the community to go and smash his show-window. He had better behave himself. Come, gentlemen, a little taffia will do us good.
As Frowenfeld again put forward his hand, she lifted her own as if to prevent him, but he kindly and firmly put it away and addressed himself with silent diligence to his task; and by the time he had finished, his womanly touch, his commanding gentleness, his easy despatch, had inspired Palmyre not only with a sense of safety, comfort, and repose, but with a pleased wonder.
The landlord handed the apothecary the following writing: MR. JOSEPH FROWENFELD: Think not that anybody is to be either poisoned by me nor yet to be made a sufferer by the exercise of anything by me of the character of what is generally known as grigri, otherwise magique. This, sir, I do beg your permission to offer my assurance to you of the same. Ah, no! it is not for that!
"I tell you, Agricole, you didn't have it with you; Frowenfeld, you haven't seen a big knotted walking-stick?" Frowenfeld was sure no walking-stick had been left there. "Oh, yes, Frowenfeld," said Doctor Keene, with a little laugh, as the three sat down, "I'd a'most as soon trust that woman as if she was white." The apothecary said nothing.
Frowenfeld stood an instant before her, groaned, and disappeared through the door. The little maid, retreating backward against her from the direction of the street-door, drew to her attention a crowd of sight-seers which had rushed up to the doors and against which Raoul was hurriedly closing the shop. Was it worse to stay, or to fly? The decision must be instantaneous.
"Yes," interrupted the Creole, smiling at the immigrant's sudden magnanimity, "its positive blemishes; do they all spring from one main defect?" "I think not. The climate has its influence, the soil has its influence dwellers in swamps cannot be mountaineers." "But after all," persisted the Creole, "the greater part of our troubles comes from " "Slavery," said Frowenfeld, "or rather caste."
After a long time the old man looked up, trying in vain to conceal his anguish under a smile. "I have a sad headache." He cast his eyes over the table and took mechanically the pen which Frowenfeld extended toward him. "What can I do for you, Professor? Sign something? There is nothing I would not do for Professor Frowenfeld. What have you written, eh?" He felt helplessly for his spectacles.
"Not wrong," said Frowenfeld, "at least not in defence of wrong; I could not do that; but, I assure you, in this matter I have done " "No worse than any one else would have done under the circumstances, my dear boy! Nay, nay, do not interrupt me; I understand you, I understand you. H-do you imagine there is anything strange to me in this at my age?" "But I am "
