In order therefore to reach the corner of the Rue Merlin, it occurred to him to take the Rue de la Folie Regnault, which winds round in the rear of the prison, farther on. Here indeed they found solitude and darkness again. The huge, massive prison with its great bare walls on which a moonray fell, looked like some pile of cold stones, dead for centuries past.
Madame Gay applied to Madame Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, who interested her husband in favour of the author of the Genie du Christianisme. M. de Montalivet and Savary also acted on this occasion in the most praiseworthy manner, and succeeded in appeasing the first transports of the Emperor's rage.
Even when she sat still and seemingly deep in thought, one felt and deferred to the magnetism and power that were expressed in every feature of that dark and alert face. O'Neill deemed himself fortunate that she did not speak of Regnault till Paris lay but a few hours away.
Reiset and Regnault, had made the experiment with success. But it must be said the experiment had only been made in anima vili. Whatever its scientific accuracy might be, no one knew how man could bear it. Such was the observation made at the meeting where this grave question was discussed.
Buscarlet, trembling but officious, wiped his brow and babbled commiserations. "Ah!" said Regnault, putting up a thin hand to stop him. "It takes one by the throat, this affair." Though he spoke quietly, his voice had yet the conscious fullness, the deliberate inflection, of a man accustomed to speak to an audience. "Yes," said O'Neill. "Were you sleeping?"

Dunois frustrated this purpose, and led back to Orleans, by way of Beauce, the troops concentrated at Blois.

He, with his genius and his restlessness, his great fame and his infamy, the high achievement of his art and the baseness of his relaxations, he was just such another as Lola. Friendship, or even the mere forms of friendship, are the touchstone of a man. O'Neill was credited in his world with the friendship of Regnault.
The fifth corps, under the command of Prince Napoleon, was despatched at a later date to Tuscany, where it was kept in a state of inactivity, which suggested rather a political than a military mission. General Regnault de Saint-Jean d'Angély commanded the Imperial Guard. Napoleon III assumed the supreme command of the allied armies, with General Vaillant as head of the staff.
