"You will not come here again?" "No. If M. Laflamme should not arrive, and you should go alone, leave one pair of oars; then I shall know. Good-bye." "Good-bye, mademoiselle. A thousand times I will pray for you. Ah, mon Dieu! take care! you are on the edge of the great tomb." She stood perfectly still. At her feet was a dark excavation where was the skeleton of Ovi the King.
"You shall not die you shall live in France, which is better. Once more, adieu!" Laflamme passed out. It was raining. He knew that if he could satisfy the first sentinel he should stand a better chance of escape, since he had had so much freedom of late; and to be passed by one would help with others. He went softly, but he was soon challenged. "Halt! Who goes there?"
It had, however, been of no use, and Grassette had refused the advances and ministrations of the little good priest, Father Laflamme, who had come from the coast of purpose to give him the offices of the Church. Silent, obdurate, sullen, he had looked the priest straight in the face and had said in broken English, "Non, I pay my bill.
As Laflamme waited for the summons to huts, a squad of prisoners went clanking by him, manacled. They had come from road-making. These never heard from wife nor child, nor held any commerce with the outside world, nor had any speech with each other, save by a silent gesture language which eluded the vigilance of the guards. As the men passed, Laflamme looked at them steadily. They knew him well.
To be free, that is good; but only that I may be a man again; that I may love my art and you; that I may once again be proud of France." "Monsieur, I repeat, you must not speak so. Do not take advantage of my willingness to serve you." "A thousand pardons! but that was in my heart, and I hoped, I hoped " "You must not hope. I can only know you as M. Laflamme, the "
"Ah! Then I suppose she has money?" "I never saw any painful evidence of poverty. But I don't think Mr. Lyon is fortune-hunting. He seems to be after information and goodness." Margaret flushed a little, but apparently Henderson did not notice it. "And was, no doubt, agreeable." "She was, as Mrs. Laflamme says, entertaining. She quoted you a good deal." "Quoted me? For what?"
I wish you to wait there until M. Laflamme and Carbourd come by the river that is their only chance. If they get across the hills they can easily reach the sea. I know that two of your horses have been over the path; they are sure-footed; they would know it in the night. Is it not so?" "It is so. There are not a dozen horses in the colony that could be trusted on it at night, but mine are safe.
"Can you see the Semaphore from here?" "Yes, there it is clear against the sky look!" But the girl did not look. She touched her eyelids with her finger-tips, as though they were fevered, and then said: "Many have escaped. They are searching for Carbourd and " "Yes, Marie?" "And M. Laflamme " "Laflamme!" he said sharply.
She stood where he had left her, gazing in melancholy abstraction at the door through which he had passed. There were footsteps without in the hall-way. The door was opened, and a servant announced M. Laflamme. The painter-prisoner entered followed by the soldier. Immediately afterward Mrs. Angers, Marie's elderly companion, sidled in gently.
