"M. Larochejaquelin always does just what he ought to do. He is as good and kind to you as Charles is to me." "Henri and I are so nearly of an age; we were always companions together. I do not think any lover will be agreeable to me as long as he is with me." "But if he should take a love of his own, Agatha?
Larochejaquelin, however, was always true to him; he knew that he was an orphan, without brother, sister, or relatives, and with the devotion of a real friend, he overlooked all his faults, and greatly magnified his talents.
It would be easy to speak of the curly haired darlings, two of course, who blessed the union of Henri Larochejaquelin and Marie de Lescure; and the joy with which they restored their aged father to the rural delights of his chateau at Durbelliere.
It was then that that wonderful presence of mind, in the midst of the most urgent danger, of which Henri Larochejaquelin showed so many instances during war, stood him in stead, and saved two lives, when salvation seemed impossible.
During April and the three weeks of May, Larochejaquelin and de Lescure, together with Cathelineau, Denot, and M. Bonchamps, were actively engaged in collecting and exhorting the people, planning what they should do, and preparing themselves to bear that burst of republican fury which they knew would, sooner or later, fall upon them.
"Of M. Henri Larochejaquelin that gentleman who has now gone upstairs: they have known each other all their lives." Auguste Plume became the picture of astonishment. "Known each other all their lives!" said he; "and what's his name, then?" "Why, I told you: M. Henri Larochejaquelin." "No, but the other," and he pointed with his thumb over his shoulder up the stairs.
"I will return home with you, M Larochejaquelin, when you go to Clisson," said Marie. "And leave Agatha alone?" said Henri "Don't mind me, Henri," said Agatha, "I shall be well here. Marie cannot leave Madame de Lescure alone, when her husband is, away and in such danger." "You will soon have company here enough," said Henri. "De Lescure, and I, and Adolphe, and Heaven knows whom besides.
After the Bishop of Agra had left the town, Larochejaquelin and de Lescure went through the army, talking to the men, and they found them eager to renew the attack on the camp of Varin. Though Varin was nearly three leagues from them, and though they had been up nearly the whole previous night, they would willingly have returned to the attack that evening, had they been allowed to do so.
"Roland and Vergniaud are both true," said Fleuriot, "but you will find, de Lescure, that they can do nothing but yield or go they must vanish out of the Assembly and become nothing or else they must go with the people." "The people! How I hate that phrase, in the sense in which it is now used," said Larochejaquelin.
In the mean time, Cathelineau and de Lescure had hurried off, at the top of their horses' speed, to endeavour to head the column of madmen who were rushing towards almost certain destruction. They will, at any rate, meet Larochejaquelin on his return, and he will stop them.
