This time we were inside the cave in which Leroux and Lacroix had piled the sacks of earth. I was looking out beyond them toward the rivulet, and on my right hand and on my left the tunnel stretched away, leading respectively toward the château and to the rocking stone at the entrance.
The mystery was soon solved by the entrance of a servant with a note for Mademoiselle Lacroix.
"Who is here?" he demanded. "I am," answered Jacqueline. "I thought I heard Lacroix," said Leroux thickly. "I have not seen M. Lacroix to-day," Jacqueline returned. Leroux stamped heavily about the room and then sat down. I heard the legs of his chair scratch the wooden floor as he drew it up to the table. "Maudit!" he burst out explosively. "Where is d'Epernay? I am tired of waiting for him!"
"That was a terrible practical joke you played on me with the black casquette, you know. They carried us away in the same auto, and they tell me that I looked as lifeless as you." "And now I have lost my pupil!" I exclaimed ruefully. "Dear Monsieur Lacroix, I had no choice," she responded, and moved to the bedside and held my hand. "I cannot oppose the wishes of all the people I love.
And you found the two statements, of course, irreconcilable. Well, go on!" Brooks found it difficult. He was grasping a paperweight tightly in one hand, and he felt the rising colour burn his cheeks. "I wrote to Mr. Lacroix," he said. "A perfectly natural thing to do," Lord Arranmore remarked, smoothly. And his answer is here! "Suppose you read it to me," Lord Arranmore suggested.
Some months had now elapsed since the death of Captain Lacroix, and Marguerite had regained much of her natural cheerfulness, which seemed all the more bright and winning for the shade of melancholy that occasionally came over her at the thought of her lonely and dependent position in the world.
"In the summer of 1758 a French vessel arrived at Gottenborg, and on board were several young Frenchmen possessing many worldly advantages, and much personal grace. One, in particular, was remarkable for the liveliness of his disposition, and beauty of form. His name was Adolphe de Lacroix. "By accident Adolphe saw Thora; and hers was a countenance which could not be looked on with apathy.
According to Lacroix, there is an account of the court silversmith, Etienne La Fontaine, which gives us an idea of the amount of extravagance sometimes committed in the manufacture and decorations of a chair, into which it was then the fashion to introduce the incrustation of precious stones; thus for making a silver arm chair and ornamenting it with pearls, crystals, and other stones, he charged the King of France, in 1352, no less a sum than 774 louis.
In the month of August 1797 he wrote "that the time was not far distant when we should see that, to destroy the power of England effectually, it would be necessary to attack Egypt." In the same month he wrote to Talleyrand, who had just succeeded Charles de Lacroix as Minister of Foreign Affairs, "that it would be necessary to attack Egypt, which did not belong to the Grand Signior."
Towards four o'clock the following day, the officers of the old army who were at Issoudun or its environs, were sauntering about the place du Marche, in front of an eating-house kept by a man named Lacroix, and waiting the arrival of Colonel Philippe Bridau. The banquet in honor of the coronation was to take place with military punctuality at five o'clock.
