But before I apply to them in my own name, I think it prudent that M. Lebeau should quietly ascertain what is their real strength, and what would be the prospects of success if Victor de Mauleon offered himself as depute at the next election. Wish him joy, M. Vane! If he succeed, you will hear of him some day crowned in the Capitol, or hurled from the Tarpeian rock." Here the train stopped.
Hastily descending the stairs, he made as quickly as his legs could carry him for the mouth of the alley in the rear of the house, through which he knew that Lebeau must pass. He arrived, panting and breathless, in time to catch hold of the ex-president's arm. "Pardon, citizen," stammered he, "but do I understand that you have sent the Council of Ten to the devil?"
Rameau sank back on his chair with a sullen sneer on his pale lips. Decidedly Lebeau was not so great a man as he had thought. "A certain portion of the journal," continued Lebeau, "will be exclusively appropriated to your pen." Rameau's lip lost the sneer.
The evening before Père Lebeau had had a long interview with him, and had pleaded the cause of Marguerite and her lover, assuring De Roberval of their innocence, and begging him to persist no longer in his cruel imprisonment of Claude. But De Roberval's insensate rage was only increased. He refused to listen to arguments, and ordered the priest from his presence.
How did you learn that Victor de Mauleon was identical with Jean Lebeau?" "I heard that from an agent of the police." "Ah!" "Whom I consulted as to the means of ascertaining whether Louise Duval was alive, if so, where she could be found." "I thank you very much for your information.
The whisper could scarce be heard, so low was it, like the sighing of the wind through a misty veil. "Who is it?" came in quick challenge from Roger. "I Yvonne Lebeau!" "Is he there?" was the eager whispered query. "Not yet. But he may come at any moment. If he saw a crowd round the house, mayhap he would not come." "He cannot see a crowd. The night is as dark as pitch."
They did make a charge on a mob, which immediately ran away. The morning of that day the Council of Ten were summoned by Lebeau minus only Rameau, who was still too unwell to attend, and the Belgian, not then at Paris; but their place was supplied by the two travelling members, who had been absent from the meeting before recorded.
They were set by Lebeau of Paris, on the order of the cardinal, and were left by him to his nephew, our friend the duke. Since his marriage, the duchess has of course worn them." All this I said in a most matter-of-fact tone. "Do you mean that they belong to her?" asked Marie, with a sudden lift of her eyes. "I don't know. Strictly, I should think not," said I impassively.
"Yet I believe the association to which most of those ouvriers belong had its origin in England." "Indeed! what association?" "The International." "Ah, I have heard of that." Lebeau turned his green spectacles full on Graham's face as he said slowly, "And what do you think of it?"
Whatever rules with regard to the distribution of money M. Lebeau laid down were acquiesced in without demur, for the money was found exclusively by himself, and furnished without the pale of the Secret Council, of which he had made himself founder and dictator.
