"Can it be possible that you refused it?" exclaimed both husband and wife. "Yes, I did refuse it, and I am sure, my lord, although you pretend surprise, that you would have acted as I did.
"They were driven out the same time, the same time I had passed the word to retire. It was a simultaneous thing. When they saw the assaulting column within probably one hundred feet of the works I passed the word as well as it could be passed for everybody to retire. And I left myself at that time.

While the Duke of Monmouth and his wife, informed by Father Griffen of the infamous treachery of Croustillac, were seeking to escape this new danger, we will return to the adventurer, who, carelessly leaning on the arm of De Chemerant, climbed the steep ascent of Devil's Cliff. Colonel Rutler, furious at having been thwarted in his attempt, was led away by a guard of two soldiers.
Between you and me, Father Griffen possessed, among others, the secret of cooking a turtle, buccaneer-fashion, of which the mere recital was enough to excite ravenous hunger on the part of his hearers.
The excellent opinion he held of himself was the sole cause of his impertinent wager of espousing Blue Beard before the end of the month. The Unicorn had anchored at Martinique three days.
