"I wonder whether we have passed mademoiselle and her escort upon the road," said Barrington. "What's in your mind, Master Richard?" asked Seth, sharply. "I have thought it strange that we did not overtake them." "Better horses, or better knowledge of the country would account for that." "Yes, but she may be at the Lion d'Or at this moment, and in the hands of men like Sabatier."
In his little sphere he was a man of consequence, not of such importance as he imagined, but, nevertheless, before his fellows. He had been at the storming of the Bastille, that gave him prestige; he had a truculent swagger which counted in these days, especially if there had been no opportunity of being proved a coward. Perchance Sabatier had never been put to the test.
"Had you sharp enough eyes to discover anything?" Sabatier asked, turning to his companion. "Nothing, except that one of them was too much like an aristocrat to please me." "He comes to Paris, and may be dealt with there. What of Bruslart's messenger?" "I saw no sign of him." "Yet they journey from the coast and must have passed him on the road. He was beyond moving of his own accord."
"First prove me a liar; afterward threaten me if you will," Barrington returned. Latour regarded him in silence for a few moments and then said slowly: "Tell me, where is Jeanne St. Clair?" "Jeanne! She has gone?" cried Barrington. "Sabatier said she was with you, that she " "It is well done, monsieur; I am no longer a fool or I might be convinced, might still be deceived."
Christian orthodoxy, as Auguste Sabatier points out, is largely derived from the older supernatural religions. The preservative shell of dogma and superstition has been cracking, and is now ready to burst, and the social teaching of Jesus would seem to be the kernel from which has sprung modern democracy, modern science, and modern religion a trinity and unity.
Jacques Sabatier did not move until the sound of his comrade's horse had died into silence, then he went toward the farm, tethered his horse, and threw himself down on the straw in a dilapidated barn. Sleep must be taken when it could be got. The days and nights were too full for settled times of rest.
A woman, half dressed, rushed down the stairs and into the street. "Let her go," Sabatier cried, as a man was starting after her. "Maybe she's not too old to find another husband." Laughing, and cursing, the men came tumbling down the stairs, ripe for deviltry; but for the moment here was wine to be had for the taking, everything else could wait.
Perhaps Latour trusted Sabatier more fully than he did any of the others who served him, and there were many. He was farseeing enough to understand that popularity only was not sufficient security, that with the conflicting and changing interests which ruled Paris and the country, the friends of to-day might easily become the enemies of to-morrow.
Barrington stood perfectly still for a moment as the stripling stepped into the room, then he sprang forward with a little cry. "Jeanne!" "Ah! I hate that you should see me like this," she said, "but Citizen Sabatier declared it was necessary."
Under like circumstances you would not speak yourself, citizen." "True. I should go to the guillotine as he must." "Not yet," said Sabatier. "Give him time and opportunity." "Curse him," said Latour. "I want to hear no more about him, I only want to know that mademoiselle is found."
