Madame d'Harville came to me because she had seen these words, 'Write to Madame de Lucenay, traced on the fragment of a letter which this unhappy woman had written to a person unknown, whose aid she entreated." "She intended to write to you! Why?" "I am ignorant; I do not know her." "But she knew you!" cried Saint Remy, struck with a sudden idea. "What do you say?"
He had just arrived at the park wall, when his horse, which had been trotting, stopped so suddenly that, had he not been a good rider, he would have been thrown over his head. Remy, astonished, looked to see the cause, and saw before him a pool of blood, and a little further on, a body, lying against the wall.
Margaret dominating the same emblem of evil with her cross in her hand. So, at least, the historians conjecture, anxious to find out some reason for her visions; and there is nothing in the suggestion which is unpleasing. The little country church was in the gift of St. Remy, and some benefactor of the rural cure might well have given a painted window to make glad the hearts of the simple people.
"I tell you, then, that Saint Remy was prosecuted for a robbery, after having made his ninny of a father believe that he had blown his brains out. An agent of the police, one of my friends, knowing that I had for a long time tracked this lord, asked me if I could not put him on the scent.
"Now," said Remy, "if any one now discovers this cave, he will only think that an alchemist has been here, and though they still burn sorcerers, they respect alchemists." "And besides," said the lady, "if they do burn us, provided I have only finished my task, I should not mind that sort of death more than any other." At this moment they heard knocking.
"Here, my men, from the staircase," shouted Monsoreau. "Ah! coward!" cried Bussy. Monsoreau retreated behind his men. Bussy gave a back stroke and a thrust; with the first he cleft open a head, and with the second pierced a breast. "That clears!" cried he. "Fly, master!" cried Remy. "Diana must save herself first," murmured he.
Remy understood all the question might mean. This was no beaten road, and no one was likely to come without particular business. "Pardieu!" he replied, "a mile or two off I met M. de St. Luc " "Ah! my murderer." "And he said, 'Remy, go to the old copse, there you will find a man dead." "Dead?" "Yes, he thought so; well, I came here and saw you." "And now, tell me frankly, am I mortally wounded?"
"Hold!" said Chalomel, "it is the carriage of the Viscount de Saint Remy." "Ain't it stylish? Whew!" Soon afterward Saint Remy entered the office. We have described the charming face, the exquisite elegance, the ravishing bearing of Saint Remy, arrived the previous evening from Arnouville Farm, belonging to the Duchess Lucenay, where he had found a refuge from the bailiffs.
And so, although I fed daintily and drank of the best, and had good tobacco to cheer me after my meals, my first day aboard the Ville de Saint Remy was as sad a one as any that I had passed since I had come into my sea-prison; for while the daylight lasted, and I wandered about her decks looking always at the barrier of weed which held me there, I had clearly before me the impossibility of ever getting away.
Madame D'Orbigny was a slender blonde, with eyebrows nearly white, and pale blue eyes, almost round; her speech honeyed, her look hypocritical, her manners insinuating and insidious. "What a charming young man is the Viscount de Saint Remy!" said she to Jacques Ferrand, when the viscount had gone. "Charming; but, madame, let us talk of business.
