Phil's hand darted to his pocket for the automatic that Garry had given him before he started on his mission, but he was not quick enough, for in less than an instant LeBlanc had leaped upon him, pinioning his arms to his side. Phil was helpless in the grasp of the half-breed. LeBlanc called in French for help, and in another moment the black moustached proprietor came rushing in.
You are in great danger; the Red Kaffirs are going to attack the house." She flew to the door in her nightdress, and at length I was in the place. "Thank God! you are still safe," I gasped. "Put on your clothes while I call Leblanc. No, stay, do you call him; I must wait here for Hans and your slaves."
Also there is due to me from your British Government £253 on account of slaves liberated which were worth quite £1,000. This also the paper gives you authority to receive. As regards my claims against the said cursed Government because of the loss brought on me by the Quabie Kaffirs, it will not acknowledge them, saying that the attack was caused by the Frenchman Leblanc, one of my household."
Here, brought together by the indefatigable energy of that impassioned humanitarian, Leblanc, the French ambassador at Washington, the chief Powers of the world were to meet in a last desperate conference to 'save humanity.
It was not wholly fear of LeBlanc that made him want to escape unobserved, he didn't want the treacherous guide to know that he or his chums were in the vicinity, for it would immediately destroy their usefulness; at least it would hamper their work to a great degree. While his opponent studied the board, Phil was looking about the room.
He made no response for a moment, and suddenly the door was thrown open, and LeBlanc and the proprietor came rushing in.
Leblanc summoned it without arrogance, he controlled it by virtue of an infinite humility. Men appeared upon those upland slopes with the apparatus for wireless telegraphy; others followed with tents and provisions; a little cable was flung down to a convenient point upon the Locarno road below. Leblanc arrived, sedulously directing every detail that would affect the tone of the assembly.
At Creil station the first person whom Charras saw was General Changarnier. "Ah! it is you, General." The two proscripts embraced each other. Such is exile. "What the deuce are they doing with you?" asked the General. "What they are probably doing with you. These vagabonds are making me travel under the name of Vincent." "And me," said Changarnier, "under the name of Leblanc."
"'Thanks for your confidence, said Dubois, not in the least disconcerted, but rising and taking the papers from the hand of Leblanc, 'I am accustomed to these sort of secrets, and yours shall be well kept. "At this moment, looking toward the fire, he saw in the midst of the burned letters a paper still untouched, and darting toward it, he seized it just as the flames were reaching it.
M. Leblanc let them take their own course. The ruffians bound him securely, in an upright attitude, with his feet on the ground at the head of the bed, the end which was most remote from the window, and nearest to the fireplace. When the last knot had been tied, Thenardier took a chair and seated himself almost facing M. Leblanc.
