"And knaves!" said Jost furiously; "But there is a power which cannot be controlled, even by kings or statesmen and that is the pen!" "And do you think you can use the pen?" queried Perousse indolently; "Excellent Shylock, you know you cannot! You can pay others to use it for you! That is all!"
A prolonged yell of savage approval answered him, and like an angry tide, the crowd swept on and on, gathering strength and force as it went, and pouring through the streets with fierce clamour of shouting, and clash of hastily collected weapons, on and on to the great square, in the centre of which stood the statue of the late King, and where the house of Carl Perousse occupied the most prominent position.
And then will you be satisfied?" "No I shall never be satisfied never till " He broke off and shifted his position. His fierce eyes rested tenderly upon her as she sat holding the motherless infant caressingly in her arms. "You have heard the latest news?" he asked presently, "That Carl Perousse has left the country?"
"If the purely business transactions in which you are engaged " "And you also," put in Perousse placidly. The Premier shifted his position uneasily and went on. "I say, if the purely business transactions of this affair were publicly known " "As well expect Cabinet secrets to be posted on a hoarding in the open thoroughfare!" said Perousse.
"I should gain access to his chief tool, David Jost, by means of the Prime Minister's signet," said Lotys, "If I could get the signet! which I cannot! Nor can you! But if I could, I should persuade Jost to talk freely, and so betray himself. He and Carl Perousse move the Premier and the King whichever way they please." "Is that so ?" began Leroy, when he was answered by a dozen voices at once:
"It will be difficult now to trace my hand in the scheme!" he said to himself, frowning heavily, as he considered various uncomfortable contingencies arising out of his conversation with his late visitor. "If the thunderbolt falls, it will crush Carl Perousse not me. Yes! It means ruin for him ruin and disgrace but for me well!
So was he brought with ceaseless acclamation to the Government House, where, as all knew, he purposed denouncing Carl Perousse; and thus did he assert in his own person that a king, supported by a nation, is more powerful than any government built up by mere party agency! And even so, at his best and bravest, two women looked upon him and loved him!
He writes for his own amusement, and from a distance. I advise you " and here the General held up an obstinate- looking finger of warning; "I advise you, I say, to let him alone! I can find no proof whatever that he is a spy." "Proof! I can give you enough " began Perousse hotly, then paused in confusion. For what could he truly say?
And now, by certain means known best to himself, he had fathomed an intricate network of deception and infamy among the governing heads of the State. He had convinced himself in many ways of the unblushing dishonesty and fraudulent self-service of Carl Perousse. This independent course of procedure had resulted in his excommunication from the Church.
Here the speaker was interrupted by what sounded more like a snarl than a shout. "Perousse! Perousse!" The name was hissed out, and tossed from one rank to another of the audience, and one or two of the police present glanced enquiringly towards Bernhoff their chief, but he sat with folded arms and inscrutable demeanour, making no sign.
