A loud curse accompanied this last throw, and shouts of ribald laughter greeted it. "No luck, Guidal!" "Always at the tail end of the cart, eh, citizen?" "Do not despair yet, good old Guidal! Bad beginnings oft make splendid ends!"
Thus terminated this extraordinary conspiracy, for which fourteen lives paid the forfeit; but, with the exception of Mallet, Guidal, and Lahorie, all the others concerned in it were either machines or dupes. This affair produced but little effect in Paris, for the enterprise and its result were make known simultaneously.
