Bathilde had seen Buvat set out with some uneasiness, for she feared that this story of the Prince de Listhnay was only an invention to explain D'Harmental's presence. The joyous expression of Buvat's face, however, quite reassured her. "Well!" said she. "Well! I have seen his highness."
'Procès-verbal of the Torture of Francis-Affinius Van der Enden. If they read one day, at the end of the conspiracy of the Prince de Listhnay, 'Procès-verbal of the Torture of Jean Buvat!" Buvat began to read. "Well, well, what is the matter, Buvat?" said Ducoudray, seeing the good man shake and grow pale: "are you ill?"
He then received from the same august hands some more work, which he returned with the same punctuality; so that the Prince de Listhnay, feeling confidence in a man who had given such proofs of exactitude, gave him at once sufficient papers to necessitate an interval of three or four days between this interview and the next.
"But, you know," answered Bathilde, "that M. Raoul said the Prince de Listhnay had no right to that title, and was only a prince of the third order." "I guarantee him of the first," said Buvat, "sabre de bois! a man of five feet ten, who throws his money about, and pays for copies at fifteen francs the page, and has given twenty-five louis in advance!"
"My dear abbe," cried D'Harmental, "you have saved my life!" "Stop, stop," said Brigaud; "you do not even ask me where the good man must go for the papers in question." "To your house, pardieu!" "Certainly not, young man, certainly not." "Where then?" "At the Prince de Listhnay's, Rue du Bac, 110." "The Prince de Listhnay! And who is he?"
By an Eye-Witness. For not revealing! It is true, no doubt, for the law is positive. Whoever does not reveal is an accomplice myself, for instance. I am the accomplice of the Prince de Listhnay; and if they cut off his head, they will cut off mine too. No, they will only hang me I am not noble.
