M. de Sabran his name is worthy to be remembered had received eleven wounds in this gallant resistance, by which he illustrated so signally the duty and service of a rearguard in retarding pursuit. That night two of the French ships hauled off to the westward, and so escaped.
"Ah! is it you, marchioness?" said the regent; "you are indeed a friend in need." "Jump in here, and quickly." The three fugitives sprang into the room. "Do you like to stop here?" asked Madame de Sabran. "Yes," said Ravanne; "I will go and look for Canillac and his night-watch." "No, no," said the regent; "they will be scaling your house and treating it as a town taken by assault.
Spero went away disappointed. Two days later he hurried to the painter's studio and hesitatingly said: "Monsieur Sabran, I treated you the other day in a mean way. Please excuse me." Gontram was surprised. Taking the vicomte's hand, he cordially said: "I am glad I was mistaken in you; if features such as yours are deceitful, then it is bad for humanity." From that day on they became firm friends.
Madam Sabran found means to deprive me of everything I had, even to a ribbon embroidered with silver, with which Madam de Warrens had adorned the hilt of my sword; this I regretted more than all the rest; indeed the sword itself would have gone the same way, had I been less obstinately bent on retaining it.
"At six o'clock, the regent, the Chevalier de Simiane, and the Chevalier de Ravanne, will sup with Madame de Sabran." "Ah, ah!" said D'Harmental; and he read the last sentence, weighing every word. "Well, what do you think of this paragraph?" asked the abbe. "There is my answer," said he. "What the devil does that mean?"
"Do you know that my father has left Paris suddenly?" asked Spero in the course of the conversation. "No. Where has the count gone to?" "I do not know," said the vicomte. Gontram Sabran had been acquainted with Spero for two years.

"The 'Shunamitish Widow, an Oriental melodrama which she has just finished, will be played in October; it is charming. Coppet will be flooded with tears. Constant and Auguste are both composing tragedies; Sabran is writing a comic opera, and Sismondi a history; Schlegel is translating something; Bonstetten is busy with philosophy, and I am busy with my letter to Juliette."
To aid the expression I wished to give her, I entreated her to recite tragic verses while I painted. She declaimed passages from Corneille and Racine. I find many persons established at Coppet: the beautiful Madame Récamier, the Comte de Sabran, a young English woman, Benjamin Constant, etc. Its society is continually renewed.
In that respect he was a boaster, and, as the event has proved, exhibited mere fatuity in matters of espionnage. But who would not have been terrified at the tone of assurance with which he told all my friends that I could not move a step without being seized by the gendarmes! * Count Elzearn de Sabran. Departure from Coppet.
