Then I knew his object: to provoke a quarrel between this young gentleman and myself, which might lead to evil ends; and the Intendant's share in the conspiracy was to revenge himself upon the Seigneur for his close friendship with the Governor. If Juste Duvarney were killed in the duel which they foresaw, so far as Doltaire was concerned I was out of the counting in the young lady's sight.
I asked them, 'What are you deliberating upon, gentlemen? There did not seem to be any president, though Don Jose Avellanos sat at the head of the table. They all answered together, 'On the preservation of life and property. 'Till the new officials arrive, Don Juste explained to me, with the solemn side of his face offered to my view.
On les vend a Lyon en la Maison de Francoys Juste, Demourant devant nostre Dame de Confort. But, in turning over the leaves, I saw something that brought my heart, as they say, into my mouth. So, beating down Bell from his upset price of fourpence to six bawbees, I pushed the treasure carelessly in my pocket, and never stopped till I was in a lonely place by Tyne-side and secure from observation.
There he bade farewell to the black brothers who had been his assistants, and upon one of them pressed a sum of money. As they parted, this one, as though giving the pass-word of a secret society, chanted solemnly: "A huit heures juste!" And Billy clasped his hand and nodded.
"My fates call out," he cried, and forthwith applied himself to hasten the preparations for his departure. The romantic picture of his philosophical retirement at Juste, painted originally by Sandoval and Siguenza, reproduced by the fascinating pencil of Strada, and imitated in frequent succession by authors of every age and country, is unfortunately but a sketch of fancy.

For a long year I had heard no voice but my own and Gabord's, had had no friends but my pale blades of corn and a timid mouse, day after day no light at all; and now winter was at hand again, and without fire and with poor food my body was chilled and starved. I had had no news of the world, nor of her who was dear to me, nor of Juste Duvarney save that he lived, nor of our cause.
To all gospels there are two sides; and a great teacher who, by reason of the very fire that makes him great, disdains to halt and hesitate and consider the juste milieu, seldom guards himself against misinterpretation or excess.
In a ballad called The New-made Gentlewoman, written in the reign of Charles II, occurs the line "My justico and black patches I wear". Mr. Fairholt suggested that justico may be a corruption of juste au corps. Planche's Cyclopedia of Costume, Vol. I, p. 318. Pepys, 26 April, 1667, saw the Duchess of Newcastle 'naked-necked, without anything about it, and a black just-au-corps'. cf.
It became known to us that Marcas did not utter fifteen sentences in a month; he never talked to anybody, nor said a word to himself in his dreadful garret. "The Ruins of Palmyra are terribly silent!" said Juste. This taciturnity in a man whose appearance was so imposing was strangely significant.
