As if by instinct the two maids stopped upon it, standing hand in hand before the iron altar and the vast shadowy image which gloomed above and appeared to reach forward in act to clutch them. After the first check in his hideous incantations, Gilles de Retz had returned to his own chamber, in which, after his entrance, the light gleamed brighter and more fiercely red than ever.
Just at the moment when the child is suffocating, Gilles orders him to be taken down and the rope untied. With some precaution, he takes the child on his knees, revives him, caresses him, rocks him, dries his tears, and pointing to the accomplices, says, 'These men are bad, but you see they obey me. Do not be afraid.
Concierges and shop-keepers knew no one better; for it was more than a quarter of a century before, that M. Vincent Favoral, the day after his wedding, had come to settle in the Rue St. Gilles; and there his two children were born, his son M. Maxence, his daughter Mlle. Gilberte. He occupied the second story of the house.
"Give the woman her son, Gilles de Retz!" At that moment the woman caught sight of Sybilla. Instantly she changed her tone from entreaty to fierce denunciation. "Behold the witch, friends, let us tear her to pieces. She is kept young and beautiful by drinking the blood of children. Throw thyself down, Jezebel, that the dogs may eat thee in the streets."
There only shall I be able to see how to strike the decisive blow. Return to the Rue St. Gilles, and relieve your mother's and sister's anxiety. You shall see me during the evening, I promise you." And, without waiting for an answer, he jumped into the cab, which started off. But it was not to the Rue St. Gilles that Maxence went. He was anxious, first, to see Mlle.
A considerable sum of money, and letters of credit on Paris, were given him at his departure; and the parting between the Ambassador and the young Count was most touching. The Marquis de St. Gilles awaited with impatience the Count's answer, and enjoyed his friend's delight by anticipation. At the expiration of four months, he received this long-expected letter.
Gilles de Laval de Retz went up the turret stair to find Poitou and Gilles de Sillé on guard on either side the portals which closed his chamber. "Is all ready?" he asked, though the tears were scarcely dry on his cheeks. They bowed before him to the ground. "All is ready, lord and master," they said as with one voice. "And Prelati?" "He is in waiting."
"And La Meffraye," he went on, "has she arrived?" "La Meffraye has arrived," they said; "all goes fortunately." "Good!" said Gilles de Retz, and shedding his furred monkish cloak carelessly from off his shoulders, he went within. Poitou and Gilles de Sillé both reached to catch the mantle ere it fell. As they did so their hands met and touched.
The very trees are red with it. The skies are red. All is red. Come up make yourselves fair for the eyes of the great lord to behold!" Then behind La Meffraye entered Gilles de Sillé and Poitou, the marshal's servants. "Make ready in haste you are both to go instantly before my lord, who abides your coming!" said Gilles de Sillé.
At Grenade, however, there were no horses to be obtained, at least not more than three, and so, leaving the greater portion of my company behind, I set out, escorted only by Gilles and Antoine. Night had fallen long before we reached Lespinasse, and with it came foul weather.
