But he could not connect the contents of the notice with the case of the kidnapped lady, and he shook his head in surprise when Muller turned to him with the words: "The lady we are looking for is not insane." On the paper was announced in large letters that a reward would be offered to the finder of a red and green parrot which had escaped from a neighbouring house.
When he found he really could not take it, he was so angry that he kidnapped Princess Bethel, saying he would keep her in a dungeon until she found the key for him. "I was in the darkest corner when the pirates came and kept hidden until they went away. Since then I have not dared to go any further than to the kitchen for some bread and water."
I, the President of a free republic, the elected of all its people, the chosen depository of its official life, I was to be kidnapped and carried off in a ship of war, because, forsooth, I was deemed too popular to rule the country!

For that is what really had happened the Candy Rabbit had been kidnapped by Rosa, the organ girl, though, really, she did not mean to do wrong in taking him. But when the Bunny was taken out of Rosa's pocket and set on the supper table in the light, he looked around him. It was quite a different home from Madeline's not nearly so nice, the Candy Rabbit thought, but of course he dared say nothing.
But perhaps some one can tell her She is in the Rue de Brissac now, almost at the spot where she herself was kidnapped and Louise was lost. A good-looking daughter of the people comes hurrying by. "Can you tell me where the Frochards live?" inquires Henriette eagerly. The girl points to an almost indistinguishable trap-door, nearly covered with straw, in front of one of the houses.
