"M. de Montrevel is a gallant man," he said; "I do not wish to thwart him in anything; whatever he does is right." It only remained to settle the hour and the place of meeting. On these points Sir John again placed himself at Roland's disposal. The two seconds left even more delighted with him after this interview than they had been after the first.
In my emotion I forgot to attend to the usual etiquette of life, and as I could not avoid entertaining the priest at our own table, I added the two other poor fellows, but as to that miller, who has more particularly drawn upon himself your hatred and contempt, his child-like countenance and frank, open manners, in my opinion, did more honour to my table, than your Marshal Montrevel could ever do.
I rushed out into the open, blessed air of heaven. I thought on all dignitaries, of my bishop, of the great church and organ of Montpellier, of the letter which I possessed from the murdered Abbot of Chably, of our illustrious Marshal of Montrevel, of his dress-uniform, and of such things, and God be praised, the trembling left my body, and I am now a reasonable man and a christian priest again.
Morgan had placed himself third, so that, separated as he was from the gendarmes by Montbar and Adler in front and d'Assas behind, he might be better able to clasp Amelie's hand. Montbar entered first. Madame de Montrevel shook her head. Then came Adler. Madame de Montrevel made the same negative sign. Just then Morgan passed before Amelie. "We are lost!" she said.
"Excellent!" exclaimed the Lady, "now I listen to you willingly, for if the hero is at the same time a philosopher, I like him all the better for it." "Most bewitching of your sex!" said Montrevel while he attempted to kiss her hand, which she hastily snatched from his lips.
You would not have been brought to me in the first instance, if he were not engaged with the minister of police. For that matter," she added, laughing, "you have arrived at an unfortunate moment; he is furious!" "Oh!" cried Madame de Montrevel, frightened; "if that is so, I would rather wait." "No, no! On the contrary, the sight of you will calm him.
Cavalier, as M. de Montrevel already knew, was to sleep on the 15th at Caveyrac. On this day Cavalier reached the turning-point in his magnificent career. As he entered the town with his soldiers, drums beating and flags flying, he was at the zenith of his power.
The first thing necessary to enable the baron to begin his efforts was a passport for Paris, and he felt sure that as he was a Protestant neither M. de Baville nor M. de Montrevel would give him one. A lucky accident, however, relieved his embarrassment and strengthened his resolution, for he thought he saw in this accident the hand of Providence.
I have handsomer ones than yours, that my friend Sir John had sent me from England; haven't I, mamma?" "Never mind, Edouard," replied Madame de Montrevel, "I entreat you not to touch them." "Don't worry, little mother." Then he added softly, "All the same, if the Companions of Jehu stop us, I know what I shall do." The diligence was again rolling heavily on its way to Paris.
If General Hatry is victorious, he can walk over our bodies and tranquilly enter Vannes; if he is defeated, he cannot say it is by numbers. Go, Monsieur de Montrevel, and remain with your friends. I give them thus the advantage of numbers, for you alone are worth ten men." Roland raised his hat. "What are you doing, sir?" demanded Cadoudal.
