They will be no burden pecuniarily, for there are money and jewels worth a large sum over here." "Of course I know that," Dr. Sandwith said, "seeing that, as you know, they were consigned to me, and the marquis wrote to ask me to act as his agent. The money is invested in stock, and the jewels are in the hands of my bankers.
The young count, not recognizing him, did not check his horse and would have ridden him down had he not jumped aside, at the same time shouting to him by name to stop. "What do you want, fellow?" Victor exclaimed, reining in his horse. "You do not recognize me!" Harry said. "I am Harry Sandwith, count, and I am here to warn you of the danger of proceeding." "Why, what has happened?"
Victor exclaimed anxiously; "and why are you in disguise, Monsieur Sandwith?" "A great number of arrests have taken place in the night, among them that of the Marquis de St. Caux and your father. Men are waiting inside your house to arrest you as you enter." Victor uttered an exclamation of anger. "That is why I have been sent away," he said.
Ernest was about his own age, while Jules came between the two younger girls. "Take M. Sandwith to the abbe," the marquis said to Ernest, "and do all in your power to set him at his ease. Remember what you would feel if you were placed, as he is, among strange people in a strange country." The lad motioned to Harry to accompany him, and the three boys left the room together.
Last week I called in from my bankers, all the cash at my disposal, about five thousand louis, and to-morrow du Tillet is going to start for Holland. He will hand it over to a banker there to forward to Dr. Sandwith, to whom I have written asking him to undertake the charge. If you will take my advice you will forward at the same time all your jewelry.

"Thank God you are both safe, dears!" she exclaimed with tears streaming down her cheeks. "I thought of you in the middle of it all; but I was sure that Monsieur Sandwith would see what was being done and would get you away." "And you, Louise," said Harry, who had now come up, "how did you get away?
Your son and M. Sandwith, they, and they alone, have reaped the glory which every sportsman in Burgundy has been so long striving to attain; they alone in the forest, miles away from the hunt, pursued and slew this scourge of the province." He put his horn to his lips. The others who carried similar instruments followed his example. A triumphant traralira was blown.
"Surely, friend Sandwith," Robespierre said, "the affairs of France are of more importance than private matters like these." "Assuredly they are, citizen; but I cannot flatter myself that the affairs of France will be in any way injured by my temporary absence. My duty in this matter is clear to me, and I can only regret that my temporary absence may put you to some inconvenience.
His honour found it impossible to articulate; he merely stood and gaped. The Irish pongye, born in Cork and Madras, was a tall, gaunt, middle-aged man, with high cheek-bones, a closely-shorn head, and horn spectacles. "Might I ask yer name, sorr?" he inquired at last, "and where ye live?" "My name is Shafto; I live in a chummery at the corner of Sandwith Road."
