Go quickly and get them, madame. Take them with you. Once all is discovered, beware of confiscation." "The stones are there, in a secret box, in the duke's apartment." "Go quickly and get them. I will ring for Mirette to get you some clothing." "Generous friend! But you! Oh God!" "Be quiet; when I have no longer need to protect you, I will look out for myself. But quick! get your diamonds.
"Do not be afraid, Mirette," said the chevalier; "while you were with my wife this gentleman arrived; he came from Fort Royal on pressing business; it is necessary that I should accompany him back." "So late, my lord, but you must not think of it! I will go and inform madame." "No! no! I forbid it; but I shall have need at once of the negro fishermen and their canoe; go and notify them."
Angela ran to this door and saw Mirette. The mulattress, with a frightened air, said to Angela that Father Griffen sent an imperative request to enter, having the most important matters to confide to her. The order was given to admit him at once into the reception hall on the ground floor. At the same moment Monmouth came out of his room completely disguised as the mulatto filibuster.
Angela, seeing that the mulatto would not eat any more, arose; the filibuster imitated her, and says, "Reassure yourself, my Angela, there is nothing to fear. Come into the garden, the night is fine, the moon magnificent. Tell Mirette to bring my lute; in order to make you forget these painful thoughts I will sing you the Scotch ballads you love so."
"Sherry, but let it be iced; this is a notion of mine." Mirette goes out for a moment, and shortly reappears and begins to prepare the table. "By the way, I forgot to tell you of a great event," says Blue Beard's companion. "What then? has one of my deceased husbands returned to life?" "Faith, almost." "Now?
Decidedly, there must be jugglery going on here." "But, my lord," continued Mirette, "what shall I say to madame?"
Chemerant will be here shortly; I will ring for Mirette." The chevalier touched the bell. Angela disappeared through the door leading to the duke's private apartments. Mirette appeared. "She is very pretty, this little duchess," mused Croustillac to himself, "very pretty. Oh, this time I am struck to the heart, I know it only too well. I shall never forget her.
"Your faithful Mirette will come; you shall yourself give her the order to send to Captain Ralph to prepare everything on board the Chameleon to set sail at daybreak." "Ah, your highness, it is barbarous to make me give the order, myself." "Obey, madame, obey." Mirette appeared. Angela gave the order in a broken voice.
"No, my lord; madame told me to allow no one to enter, so the reverend priest has been shown to a room in the outer building." "Then your mistress is not expecting my return?" "No, my lord; but " "It is well; leave us." "But, my lord, I will go and inform Madame de " "No, it is no matter; I will go myself," said the Gascon, passing before Mirette and walking toward the drawing room.
And Angela breaks into a merry peal of laughter which nothing can arrest, and the mulatto finally joins in her merriment. The two have scarcely subsided when Mirette enters preceded by two other mulattresses who carry a table sumptuously set out in gilded dishes.
