A lance had pierced his thigh and the horse's flank, which meant that it had been a hand-to-hand fight, and the blood still flowing freely, proved that the combat was not an hour old! Madame Guix and I were doing our best when the white face's of my notary and his wife appeared at the door of the dispensary. "Madame Huard, we've come to tell you you must go!" "Go?"
A quarter of an hour later I turned into the public square and beheld Maitre Baudoin and his wife standing on the doorstep watching the exodus of numerous refugees. "Madame Huard!" they exclaimed. "You? What on earth has happened?" I explained in a few words. "Why, come right in. We were just going to sit down to dinner." I said I was not alone, and must first look after the others.
The bell stopped. "Who are you that you dare wake us like that!" I scolded. A boy between eighteen and nineteen let go the rope and stepped beneath the window.

"Why, Madame Huard," said the clerk in surprise, "you mean to say you are frightened?" I explained what I had heard in the morning.
Writing of that organization in 1906, M. Charles Huard, in "New York comme je l'ai vu," volunteered the puzzling information that it was "fondé en 1836 par les descendants de Knickerbocker, le plus vieux donc des grand clubs de New York." If the Frenchman was to be taken literally he apparently regarded the offspring of Washington Irving's creation as an exceedingly prolific race.
At dawn on that eventful September morning an officer had ridden up to the town hall, called for the mayor or his representative, and on Monsieur Duguey's appearance, had demanded so much fodder for the horses, so much champagne for the officers, and Charles Huard!
