If they had indeed run Gard to his hiding-place, as Philip Vaudin had said, there could be but one possible end to it; and she sat, sad-eyed and wistful, waiting for them to come up again. It seemed as if they would never come, and she never took her eyes off the rock wall on L'Etat. And then at last she sprang to her feet. One of them had come up again. She could not see which.
And he sat there so long so long after his hopes and wishes had flown over to Sark and hurried Bernel and Nance into a boat and landed them on L'Etat that the night seemed running out, and he began to fear they were not coming, after all. In the troubled darkness of the Race, he caught gleams at times which might be oar-blades or might be only the upfling from the perils below.
A single vote of the House of Commons, in 1832, made the Duke of Wellington declare, in the House of Lords, that he was obliged to abandon his sovereign in "the most difficult and distressing circumstances." The House of Commons is absolute. It is the State. "L'Etat c'est moi." The House of Commons virtually appoints the bishops. A sectarian assembly appoints the bishops of the Established Church.
Whether the answer decided the fate of the lover for life or for death, it certainly controlled his action in an important matter. Immediately on its receipt he hastened to the Hotel de l'Etat Major, the headquarters of the army department, and solicited a month's leave of absence to visit his father's family.

The fact is, the old Baron's titles and estates had passed away to his nephews; his dowager was only left with three hundred thousand livres, in rentes sur l'etat a handsome sum, but nothing to compare to the rent-roll of Count Dominic, Count de la Grinche, Seigneur de la Haute Pigre, Baron de la Bigorne; he had estates and wealth which might authorize him to aspire to the hand of a duchess, at least.
And on the slope above the Cromlech they had come suddenly on Gard, lying there looking out over the sea towards L'Etat. He had jumped up at sight of them and stood hesitating a moment. "Going for a bathe?" he asked, knowing the usual course of their proceedings. "Yes, we were," said Bernel. "You going?" with a glance at the towel Gard had brought out on the chance of a dip.
The gesture of Versailles, the challenge of "l'etat c'est moi," the majestic vulgarity which the millionaire of the moment can mimic with a vulgarity less majestic, are here entirely absent; and one cannot mimic the invisible. Hardly, on bare winter days, when the sheltering groves are stripped, and the saddened heart is in need of reassurance, appears a green lustre of copper roofs.
Perrier also speaks of "l'etat de pate excessivement fine a laquelle est reduite la terre qu'ils rejettent," &c. With worms living in a state of nature, it is of course impossible to know how much the fragments may have been worn before they were swallowed.
"But I've found another hiding-place, Nance, where they could never find me." "Here? on L'Etat?" "Yes inside. I'll show you some time, perhaps, if " "Is this where you came ashore?" he asked, as she came to a stand on a rough black shelf up which the waves hissed white and venomous.
