But if the nature of such men were subdued to what it worked in, that charge could not be brought against ministers with the learning and accomplishments of Ambrose Wille, Marnier, Guy de Bray, or Francis Junius, the man whom Scaliger called the "greatest of all theologians since the days of the apostles."
He glanced at me for an instant, then added: "You've got a case that proves it, at any rate to you, in your mind." "Quite true." "Can you give it us?" "Jove! let's have it!" exclaimed young England. "Certainly, if you like," I said. "I don't know whether you ever heard of the Marnier affair?" Young England shook his head, but the doctor replied at once. "Three years ago, wasn't it?" "Four."
'Remember what the aumônier told us! "Marnier looked at me. I thought there was something apprehensive in his eyes. But he said nothing, and we turned in. "The next day I rode out with Safti into the desert to visit a sacred personage of great note in the Sahara, Sidi El Ahmed Ben Daoud Abderahmann. To my relief Marnier declined to come. He said he was tired, and would stroll about the city.

"Opposite to the aumonier's dwelling was the great dancing-house of the town, and when we had bade him good-night, and turned to go back to the inn, I rather tentatively suggested to Marnier that, perhaps, it would be interesting to look in there for a moment. "'All right, he responded, with his most donnish manner. 'But I expect it will be rather an unwashed crowd.

As I realised this I realised his danger.

"I don't understand." "Listen!" Marnier looked around. There was no one near enough to overhear him, if he did not raise his voice; and he was careful to speak in a whisper. "Two things."

'I must look out what I'm doing! he thought sharply. "Another little cup of very special coffee, monsieur; a liqueur, Grand Marnier?" and Madame Lamotte rose to order these delicacies.
He had spoken under a sudden inspiration; the Cardinal's words had shown him a way which with careful treading might lead to his desired result. He went first to his lodging, and ordered his servant Marnier to saddle his black horse.
