The visitor had swaggered up the Rue Valette, conscious that some turned to look at him as a man to be feared and respected, yet his manner changed as he passed through the alley, the swagger lessened with each step he mounted, and when Latour opened the door to him, the visitor was full of respect, almost cringing respect. Here was a strange caricature of equality!
And the traditional answer to the question, true for once, still showed the race of Latour making much, making the most, of the sympathetic ties of human life. The work, in large measure, of Gaston de Latour, it was left unfinished at his death, some time about the year 1594.
It has, however, its point of maximum density, but this, not infrequently, is also ifs point of minimum knowledge. During all these days Gwen was gaining rapidly. Maitland came to visit us almost every night, and he told Gwen that he did not feel altogether certain that, in arresting M. Latour, the law had secured her father's real assassin.
Is this the meaning of your visit?" "What is your answer to it?" "Rather the guillotine, citizen. Is the answer short and definite enough?" "Short enough and well spoken," said Latour, with a smile. "You will rejoice to hear that your messenger never reached mademoiselle."
Again and again they demanded the papers, which they said she had given me to keep for her, and my denial only brought upon me the increased torture of the cord, until I was almost black in the face, and my veins stood out knotted and hard. I realised, to my horror, that they intended to murder me, just as they had assassinated Latour and his wife.
"Then, monsieur, I will leave you. Citizen Latour will be distressed until he knows you are safe." Richard Barrington's patience was destined to be sufficiently tried.
Horace Dunkelberg and I laughed heartily for I had told him in a whisper what had happened to Sally while Mr. Latour looked a little embarrassed. "My face is not beautiful, but they say that I have a good heart," Sally assured the stranger. They started on. I excused myself and took a trail through the woods to another road.
I shall try to see other tenants and report what they say. It may lead to a settlement." We went on together to the top of the hill near which we had been standing. Far ahead I saw a cloud of dust but no other sign of Latour and Purvis. They must have spurred their horses into a run. The fear came to me that Latour would try to serve the writs in spite of me. They were in his pocket.
"The King, distrustful of those about him, gave the packet into the hands of his faithful subject Latour, in England, and he, in preference to putting it into a safe, which might attract the spies of the conspirators, kept it in a small cavity behind the wainscoting in the drawing-room at Buckworth a spot which he showed me, so that if any untoward event occurred I should at least know where the documents were secreted.
Latour paused by the table, a little astonished perhaps at the concern in his companion's voice. Sabatier was to be trusted as a man who served well for payment, but his hands had been red often, and it was strange to hear anything like sentiment from his lips. "One would think you had some real affection for me," said Latour. Sabatier swaggered to hide such weakness.
