"One of them, it is true, did wish to fight," the Countess continued, with a smile; "a Frenchman named Renauld, whom they have put in charge of the army. He scoffed at the whole expedition, but they told him that a foreigner could not understand as they did the danger of the popularity of the Prince Kolonay, who, by a speech or two among the shepherds and fishermen, could raise an army."
Your name, if you please?" "Renauld Chateau, guardian of the seals of the Chatelet of Paris, at your service." "Monsieur, you are the only representative of the muses here," said Gringoire. "You are too kind, sir," said the guardian of the seals at the Chatelet. "You are the only one," resumed Gringoire, "who has listened to the piece decorously. What do you think of it?"
The return of our yacht to this place has no doubt been made known in Messina through the public press, and General Renauld followed the yacht here to learn what he could of our plans of our intended movements. He came here to spy on us, and as a spy I ordered Mr.
He was turning in bewilderment from the King to Father Paul, and he laughed uncertainly. "What nonsense is this?" he demanded. "Whose sorry trick is this? The lie is not even ingenious." General Renauld had not spoken since he had entered the room, but now he advanced in front of Kalonay and faced him with a threatening gesture. "The President of Messina does not lie, sir," he said, sternly.
Gordon opened the paper and looked at it for some seconds of time with a grave and perplexed expression, and then, with a short breath, as one who takes a plunge, read it aloud. "This is it," he said. To General Renauld. Cable Office, Tangier. They leave Tangier Tuesday at midnight, they land at daybreak Thursday morning on the south beach below the old breakwater.
Gordon and the Frenchman Renauld were far in the lead, walking by themselves and speaking earnestly together; Father Paul was walking with Mrs. Carson and her daughter, and Kalonay was riding with two of the volunteers, the Count de Rouen and Prince Henri of Poitiers. When the King and Erhaupt turned from the window the Countess Zara had disappeared.
The priest unfolded the paper. "Am I to read this?" he asked. The woman bowed again. There was silence in the room while the priest's eyes ran quickly over the paper. He crushed it in his hand. "It is as General Renauld says," he exclaimed.
His information, he told me, had been sold to the Republic by one who visited the island and who claimed to act for one other. I appreciated the importance of what he said, and I also guessed that my word and his unsupported might be doubted, as you have just doubted it. So I took the liberty of verifying what General Renauld told me by cabling to the President of Messina."
There was a menacing movement on the part of the younger men toward Gordon and General Renauld, which the King noted, but which he made no effort to check. Neither Gordon nor General Renauld gave any sign that they observed it.
Gordon, the American who joined us last night. That man is a spy from Messina. He is Renauld, the Commander-in-Chief of their army. He must be gotten away from here at once. It is a matter for a man to attend to. Will you do it?" "How do you know this?" Gordon asked. "How do you know he is General Renauld? I want to be certain." The girl tossed her head impatiently.
