One grows so sad with being King of France! Tell me what vexes you." "Mademoiselle de Lavedan has promised that she will marry me only when I have saved her father from the scaffold. I came to do it, very full of hope, Sire. But his wife has forestalled me and, seemingly, doomed him irrevocably." His glance fell; his countenance resumed its habitual gloom.
You have flung insults and epithets at me enough to earn the cutting of a dozen throats. You have dubbed me cheat and thief" he choked in his passion "until you have had your fill is it not so? Now, listen to me, Master Bardelys, master spy, master buffoon, master masquerader! What manner of proceeding was yours to go to Lavedan under a false name? How call you that?
I held my breath, I think, as I stood in ravished contemplation of that white vision. If this were Lavedan, and that the cold Roxalanne who had sent my bold Chatellerault back to Paris empty-handed then were my task a very welcome one. How little it had weighed with me that I was come to Languedoc to woo a woman bearing the name of Roxalanne de Lavedan I have already shown.
As the mountains and the sea sometimes refuse to give up their victims, so the air seems to have kept Guynemer. "He was neither seen nor heard as he fell," M. Henri Lavedan wrote at the beginning of October; his body and his machine were never found. Where has he gone? By what wings did he manage thus to glide into immortality? Nobody knows: nothing is known.
Ask him, if you will, to show you the letter that you left at Lavedan making an assignation here before noon to-day, which letter I received." The suspicion faded from Marsac's eyes, and they grew round with wonder as he listened to this prodigious array of evidence.
But if if after I have heard this thing you speak of," she said presently, speaking with averted eyes, "and if, having heard it, I judge you more mercifully than you judge yourself, and I send for you, will you will you come back to Lavedan?" My heart gave a great bound a great, a sudden throb of hope. But as sudden and as great was the rebound into despair.
Such, I make no doubt, was what passed through her mind at the moment, and, to judge from her expression, I should say that the excitement of beholding the Magnificent Bardelys had for the nonce eclipsed beholding even her husband's condition and the imminent sequestration of Lavedan. "My business is with you, Chevalier," said I. "It relates to your mission here." His jaw fell. "You wish ?"
On the morrow I rose, my foot being sufficiently recovered to permit it. I felt a little weak from loss of blood, but Anatole who, for all his evil countenance, was a kindly and gentle servant was confident that a few days a week at most would see me completely restored. Of leaving Lavedan I said nothing.
Here was one coming to Lavedan who knew Lesperon one who would unmask me and say that I was an impostor. What would happen then? A spy they would of a certainty account me, and that they would make short work of me I never doubted. But that was something that troubled me less than the opinion Mademoiselle must form. How would she interpret what I had said that day?
I was saying that I marvel at your temerity, and more particularly at your having laid information against Monsieur de Lavedan, and having come here to arrest him, knowing, as you must know, that I am interested in the Vicomte." "I have heard of that interest, monsieur," said he, with a sneer for which I could have struck him.
