"They are reading the placard which I have hung out," said M. Werkmeister "the request which I addressed to all patriots." "And what do you request of them to do, godfather?"
His grandfather stared at a placard on the wall. It said archly: "Remember! A Lady is Present!" Nedda had put it up. "Hm-m-m!" said his grandfather. "What's a woman doing on a pirate ship? That's what your letter talked about!" "They get on," said Hoddan, wincing, "like mice. You've had mice on a ship, haven't you? Come in the control room and I'll explain."
On the front of his sale-board hung a little placard, like a kettle-holder, bearing the inscription in his own small text: Errands gone On with fi Delity By Ladies and Gentlemen I remain Your humble Servt: Silas Wegg For this reason, he always spoke of it as 'Our House, and, though his knowledge of its affairs was mostly speculative and all wrong, claimed to be in its confidence.
It spread like wildfire over the town, and, though the mortar and the placard were speedily removed, our triumph was complete. The whole community was on the broad grin, and our participation in the affair seemingly unsuspected. It was those wicked soldiers at the fort!
We are not infallible judges of pictures, but of course we went there to see this wonderful painting, once so beautiful, always so worshipped by masters in art, and forever to be famous in song and story.

Such was the placard which appeared at every corner in Paris on the morning of Thursday, February 24th. At three o'clock it had been hastily struck at the offices of "La Presse" and "Le Constitutionnel," and given into the hands of the bill-posters. At daylight it was read by the early passers, and, as soon as read, indignantly torn down with the significant murmur, "It is too late!"
