As soon as Mother Bonneton wrote me about it, I saw I'd have to take the girl away again. I told her this morning she must pack up her things and go back to Brussels with me, and that made the trouble." "Ah!" exclaimed Matthieu with an understanding nod. "Then she knew at luncheon that you would take her back to Brussels?" "Of course she did.
He next approached the bed of the Queen: "M'amie" he said tenderly, "rejoice! God has given us what we asked." Mézeray and Matthieu both assert that the birth of the Dauphin was preceded by an earthquake, which, with the usual superstition of the period, was afterwards declared to have been a forewarning of the ceaseless wars by which Europe was convulsed during his reign.
Hope and energy were alike aroused by so vigorous a measure; and thus the people ceased to murmur, and were ready to acknowledge that the King had indeed begun to verify his celebrated declaration that "if he were spared, there should not exist a workman within his realm who was not enabled to cook a fowl upon the Sunday." Matthieu, Hist. de Henri IV, vol. ii. book vi. p. 446.
"She will never know anything about this," smiled the other, "and, if she should, give her one or two of these bank notes. It's wonderful how they change a woman's point of view. Besides, you can prepare her by talking about François's bad health." "A good idea!" brightened Bonneton. "Then it's understood. Tuesday, at six, your friend Matthieu will be here to replace François. Remember Matthieu!"
It was not the first time that the tumult of men in arms had made echoes along the valley. Matthieu and I went off together to dine. He lent me a pin of his, a pin with a worked head, to pin my tunic with where it was torn, and he begged me to give it back to him. But I have it still, for I have never seen him since; nor shall I see him, nor he me, till the Great Day.
"Did I not say I had forgotten it?" "Thank you," I said, meaning it from the bottom of my heart. "Now one thing more, and you shall send me to Father Matthieu. 'Tis a shameful thing to speak of, but the thought of it rankles and will rankle till I have begged you to add it to the things forgotten. That morning in your dressing-room " She put up her hands as if she would push the words back.
"You doubtless know that Jean Matthieu, suspected of complicity in the P.... bomb explosions, has been hiding in London for some time past." I nodded assent: he had even been pointed out to me one evening by Giannoli at a meeting in the East End. "Well, since yesterday we have the certainty that the police are on his track, that they are aware of his whereabouts.
Go, go!" "I'm going, M. Paul, I'm going," obeyed Bonneton, and he hurried across the few yards of pavement that separated them from the cathedral. Meantime, the step on the stairs came nearer. It was a light, quick step, and, looking up, Coquenil saw Alice hurrying toward him, tense with some eager purpose. "Oh, M. Matthieu!" exclaimed the girl in apparent surprise.
"Have you never heard of Paul Coquenil?" smiled Matthieu, kicking Papa Bonneton warningly under the table. Groener looked straight at the detective and answered with perfect simplicity: "No wonder you smile, M. Matthieu, but think how far away from Paris I live! Besides, I want this to be a happy day. Come, little cousin, you shall tell me all about it when we are out together.
"Say François was sick, and you got your old friend Matthieu to replace him for a few days. I'm Matthieu!" Papa Bonneton touched the five crisp bank notes caressingly; their clean blue and white attracted him irresistibly. "You wouldn't get me into trouble, M. Paul?" he appealed weakly.
