"What is your message?" she asked. Tom's answer was to remove his wide hat, wig, and beard. "Himself!" Madame Reynier exclaimed, "my preserver," and she held out both her hands to him. "How glad I am, but oh! how foolish to come here again, and and" she hesitated at the thought that he, an English spy, ought not to come to her, the wife of a French general. Tom guessed her thought.
Nothing further was said until Mélanie unexpectedly shot straight to the mark with: "How do you think he would do, Auntie, in place of Count Lorenzo?" Madame Reynier showed no surprise. "He is a sterling man; but your cousin would never consent to it." "And if I should not consult my cousin?"
This was the climax of this day of disaster, which left in the hands of the allies as many as thirty generals, including Lauriston and Reynier, and 33,000 of the rank and file, along with 260 cannon and 870 ammunition wagons.
