Louis had many ways of paying debts. There was Guy de Molembrais, for instance , but Saxe was frankly sweating and Villon broke off. The second hint was clearer even than the first, and Saxe felt that both were true.
"A lady?" Saint-Pierre's hand fell on his shoulder in a kindly touch. "Not old enough to be your mother, I'll wager! Don't fret, mon gars, I have been young myself," and with that La Mothe had to be content. Motioning to La Mothe to precede him, Molembrais took up his position last of the three.
But I think Monsieur Villon has something more to say. Why do you call Hugues a prophet?" "Because he foretold Guy de Molembrais' death three days before it occurred or was it four? You should know, Saxe?" "I only know what he told me," answered Saxe doggedly, but the fresh ruddiness of his face had faded, and he sucked at his lips as if they had grown suddenly dry.
"Perhaps I'll sleep later. Please God I'll sleep later. Send them in." But in the ante-room Leslie paused a moment. "Take off those riding gloves," he said sharply. "You must know little of kings' courts. Leave them on the table. You can pick them up as you go out." "I know my duty," answered Molembrais, "and that is enough for me." To speak sharply steadied his nerve.
So the two rode on ahead, Ursula and Father John following more leisurely. The dawn was as yet little more than a haze of yellow mist. While they were still a bow-shot from the walls a hoarse voice shouted a command to halt, but Molembrais, holding the signet above his head, called back "In the King's name," and rode on.
The hedge-side beggar boasts a crest, Monsieur La Mothe: a martlet with three mullets in chief. Now do you understand?" "No." "It is the crest of the Molembrais. There were two brothers, the last of their family, and Guy de Molembrais trusted our revered King yes, I see you know the name." Know the name? La Mothe knew it as he knew the justice of the King.
Quick to note the richer dress he drew his own conclusion. Waiting for neither question nor explanation he again held out the signet. "Monsieur de Saint-Pierre, we must see the King at once at once, you understand. Here is my authority." "But I do not know you? No stranger can " "But you know this!" Molembrais cut him short.
"Oh, God God God God be thanked!" he sobbed, his shoulders shaking in convulsions as he fought for breath. "God be thanked!" La Mothe heard him whisper a second time, and in the silence Molembrais crept forward and aside, edging by the wall where the shadows were thickest. The lamp was his danger. He must quench the lamp and strike in the dark. Forward and aside he stole towards the table.
Guy de Molembrais was alive a week before we left Valmy. Saxe has lied, lied, lied. Do you see it, Uncle? I knew he lied. Oh, you hound! you hound! And you had a letter from Valmy this afternoon? That accounts " "Hush, Monsieur La Mothe, hush." Rising from her chair Ursula de Vesc almost put her hand over La Mothe's mouth in her efforts to silence him.
The King who kept no faith was shrewd to know when he could trust the faith of others, and the troopers doubtless were required elsewhere. The truth was they followed at a distance, in order to cover and aid Molembrais' flight in the desperate possibility of his escape from Valmy. Unconsciously following the precedent set by Commines, they drew rein while it was yet dark.
