"Pshaw!" cried my comrade, "for all we know Charles himself is responsible for the deed!" "At all events," I said, "the plot must have been known beforehand in the palace!" "If you think that, because I warned you to remove your sister from Paris, you are mistaken. Your surprise this morning was not greater than my own.

Accordingly he answered: "I should be glad to remove the rock, if I can."
On the following day I called at the war office, but, to avoid every chance of unpleasantness, I took care to remove my cockade. I found in the office Major Pelodoro, who could not control his joy when he saw me in a military uniform, and hugged me with delight.
