A murmur of dismay and sympathy went round the vessel, as the full horror of his project dawned upon the crew; but no man dared to interfere, save Père Lebeau. Undaunted by his rebuff of a few days before, the priest stepped up to De Roberval, and fixing his eyes full upon him, he exclaimed: "Sieur, beware what you do!
It is difficult for an Englishman to comprehend the full influence of a successful journal at Paris; the station political, literary, social which it confers on the contributors who effect the success. M. Lebeau had shown much more sagacity in selecting Gustave Rameau for the nominal editor than Savarin supposed or my reader might detect.
The instructions given to these members of the Council by Lebeau were brief: they were summed up in the one word, Decheance.
M. Lebeau he had never seen since the day he had brought him the list of contributors, and was then referred to the publisher, whom he supposed M. Lebeau had secured, and received the first quarter of his salary in advance. The salary was a trifle compared to the extra profits thus generously volunteered. He called at Lebeau's office, and saw only the clerk, who said that his chef was abroad.
M. de Mauleon bears the same name as he did at Lyons, that name is Jean Lebeau; he exercises the ostensible profession of a 'letter-writer, and a sort of adviser on business among the workmen and petty bourgeoisie, and he nightly frequents the cafe Jean Jacques, Rue Faubourg Montmartre.
Punctually at eight o'clock Graham Vane had taken his seat at a corner table at the remote end of the cafe Jean Jacques, called for his cup of coffee and his evening journal, and awaited the arrival of M. Lebeau. His patience was not tasked long.
Some men under De Mauleon had seized upon one of these victims, and were hurrying him into the next street for execution, when, catching sight of the Vicomte, he screamed out, 'Lebeau, save me! "At that cry De Mauleon rushed forward, arrested his soldiers, cried, 'This man is innocent a harmless physician.
"If the apartments suit you," said M. Lebeau, "you will at least be in the house of a very honest man, which is more than can be said of every one who lets furnished apartments. The house, too, has a concierge, with a handy wife who will arrange your rooms and provide you with coffee or tea, which you English prefer if you breakfast at home."
"Next, have you any friends or relations in the provinces unknown to M. Lebeau, to whom I might be supposed to write about debts or business matters, and from whom I might have replies?" "I will think over it, and manage that for you very easily. Your letters shall find their way to me, and I will dictate the answers."
Lebeau advanced through the gloom, and quietly seated himself in the corner of the fireplace opposite to Graham before he spoke. "A thousand pardons for disturbing your slumbers, Monsieur Lamb." Startled then by the voice so near him, Graham raised his head, looked round, and beheld very indistinctly the person seated so near him. "Monsieur Lebeau?" "At your service.
