The woman's look displeased me. Does she treat Caillette badly?" "She dare not touch a hair of the child's head," hissed the giant, "or " "Do not get angry; but tell me rather whether Bobichel is still with you?" "Of course." "And Robeckal?" "His time is about up." "That would be no harm; and the little one?" "The little one?" laughed Girdel. "Well, he is about six feet." "You do not say so!
But it was no use, she had to close her eyes again from exhaustion. "Ah, you are sensible I see; that pleases me," said Rolla, giggling. "Robeckal thought you would stamp and cry, but I said right away: 'The little one is smart, she will not throw her fortune away. What is the use of virtue, anyway? It hardly brings one dry bread, so the sooner you throw it overboard the better it is.
"I, wretch!" thundered Firejaws, in whose eyes a warning glance shone. "Bah! you are getting angry about nothing," said Robeckal, mockingly, placing his other hand on the edge of the wagon. "Strike him, Robeckal!" cried Rolla, urgingly.
As she reached Girdel's door, a dark form, which had been crouching near the threshold, arose. "Who's there?" asked Caillette softly. "I, little Caillette," replied Bobichel's voice. "I am watching, because I do not trust Robeckal." "Oh, Bobichel, there is danger. I must waken father at once." "What is the matter?"
They are members of a secret organization, which is directed against the monarchy." "Impossible; it cannot be!" groaned Schwan. "I will conduct the gentlemen," said Robeckal, coming forward. "Scoundrel!" muttered the host, while Robeckal preceded the policemen up the stairs, and pointed to Girdel's room. "Open!" cried the brigadier, knocking at the door with the hilt of his sword.
"You are right, Bobichel," said Fanfaro, and, pressing a kiss upon his mother's forehead, he ran off with Girdel and the clown. While Montferrand and Talizac were struggling, Robeckal slipped up to the door and winked to Louison. She hurried out and implored Robeckal to bring her out of this miserable house.
"Back, Rolla!" exclaimed Firejaws, hoarsely, as he laid his iron fist upon his wife's shoulder. Schwan came to the door and cordially said: "Where are your comrades? The soup is waiting." Robeckal hurriedly glided from the wagon, and approaching close to Rolla, he whispered a few words in her ear. "Let me go, Girdel," said the giantess. "Who would take such a stupid joke in earnest?
"Enough of your rascality, Robeckal," said the voice of him who had thrown the angry man upon the wagon. "I thought the wretched boy would come between us again," hissed Rolla; and without waiting for any further help she sprung from the wagon and rushed upon Fanfaro, for he it was who had come to Girdel's assistance.
You shall have an opportunity to pay back the athlete everything you owe him in the way of hate, and besides you will be well rewarded." Robeckal shrugged his shoulders. "Humbug," he said, indifferently. "No, I mean it seriously." "I should like it to be done," replied Robeckal, dryly. "Here are twenty francs in advance."
"March, away with you," he said, roughly, "and do not attempt to free him; he can ponder over his sins." Rolla hurried to leave the house. If Robeckal died she would be the sole possessor of the twenty thousand francs. Bobichel and Fanfaro left the house likewise, and Robeckal remained crying behind. The Fougereuse mansion was resplendent with light.
