The said letter has been handed to the Governor of Touraine as an historical curiosity, and joined to the pieces of the process in the archbishopric of Tours, by me, Pierre Gaultier, Sheriff, President of the Trades Council.
"It would best suit my purpose if I met him as a political sympathiser." Gaultier evidently did not like the idea. Foreign Office messengers do not care to be associated with politics in any shape or form. "Is there no other way?" he asked dubiously. "Plenty," said Brett.
"I will be most pleased to meet your friend, Captain Gaultier," he said, "and lest it should slip your memory I will give you a reminder." He opened his card-case and wrote on the back of a card: "Grand Hotel. Breakfast 11.30. No more at present." The quick-witted King's messenger read and understood. "It seems to me," he went on, "that he is the very man for your purpose.
With some difficulty he recognized Jacques Gaultier, as it was rather dark just there.

But within the magnificent mansion of Gaultier de Rumilly all was light and loveliness, as has been said.
