They know me, monsieur and madame of the conciergerie, as Pierre Lamier; and I think they're safe not only trustworthy and of friendly disposition, but quite simple-minded; I don't believe they gossip much. So the chances are De Morbihan and his gang know nothing of the arrangement. But that's all speculation a forlorn hope!" "I understand," the girl observed.
But that's the effect I get.... What took you to my room, if not his orders? Why does he train with De Morbihan, if he's not blood-kin to that breed? Why are you running away from him if not because you've found out his part in that conspiracy?" His pause and questioning look evoked no answer; the girl sat moveless and intent, meeting his gaze inscrutably.
They then became known by another name, and the Chouan bands for years carried on a fearful war against the government in that part of the province which is called the Morbihan. About eight o'clock in the evening, Henri and Arthur Mondyon returned to the house, after a long day's work, and were the first to bring new tidings both of the blues and their new ally, the Mad Captain.
He rose less resentful than regretful that his ill-luck obliged him to quit just when play was most interesting, and resignedly sought the cloak-room for his coat and hat. And there he found De Morbihan again! standing all garmented for the street, mouthing a huge cigar and wearing a look of impatient discontent. "At last!" he cried in an aggrieved tone as Lanyard appeared in the offing.
In alarm, unable to comprehend the nature of that large, dark, whirling mass, De Morbihan attempted to lift a warding elbow. He was too slow: the cushion caught him in the face, full-force, and before he could recover or guess what he was doing, he had twisted the wheel sharply to the right.
Nor was this humour in any way modified when, in due course, he confirmed anticipation by discovering Monsieur le Comte Remy de Morbihan lounging beside one of the roulette tables, watching the play, and now and again risking a maximum on his own account.
"You may well, when such beautiful things come from it," said the girl. "See what we found there to-day." She slipped a ring from her hand and passed it to De Morbihan. There followed silence for an instant, then an exclamation from the Frenchman: "But it is superb! Accept, mademoiselle, my compliments. It is worthy even of you." She flushed prettily as she nodded smiling acknowledgement.
But it was a deeper and a more solemn emotion, and doubtless some dreadful vision, that had caused Mme. de Dey's death; for at the very hour when she died at Carentan, her son was shot in le Morbihan. This tragical story may be added to all the instances on record of the workings of sympathies uncontrolled by the laws of time and space.
When the galleys had pulled out from shore, the praetor, military commandant of the fleet, told Albinik, through an interpreter, to steer for the lower part of the bay of Morbihan, in the neighborhood of the town of Vannes, where the Gallic army was assembled. Albinik with his hand at the tiller was to convey to the interpreter his orders to the master of the rowers.
They are most numerous of all in Brittany; there are 491 in the Cotes-du-Nord, 530 in Ille-et-Vilaine. I am not sure of the number in Morbihan, but I know it is very considerable.
