Come down again presently as if to get more news, and then tell them that there are reports that the prisoners have been massacred, and then at last tell them all the truth." "But will you not come up, Monsieur Sandwith they trust you so much? Your presence will be a support to them." "I could do nothing now," Harry said sadly. "God only can console them. They had best be by themselves for awhile.
"Monsieur Sandwith?" he said interrogatively. "I am glad to see you." Harry did not understand the latter portion of the remark, but he caught the sound of his name. "That's all right," he said nodding. "How do you do, M. du Tillet?" The French gentleman bowed; Harry bowed; and then they looked at each other. There was nothing more to say.
The English gentleman for Monsieur Sandwith says that even among grown-up people the same habits prevail does not disdain to show the canaille that even with their own rough weapons he is their superior, and he thus holds their respect.

Three days after the arrival of the letter of the marquis, Dr. Sandwith and Harry started by stage for Dover, and the doctor put his son on board the packet sailing for Calais.
"No, no, father; you cannot think I would live on Jeanne's money." "And you still intend to go into the army, Harry?" "No, father; I have had enough of bloodshed for the rest of my life. I have been thinking it over a good deal, and I have determined to follow your example and become a doctor." "That's right, my boy," Dr. Sandwith said heartily.
Whoever finds your horse will probably appropriate it and will say nothing about it, so that all clue to your movements will be lost, and it will be supposed that you have ridden to the frontier." "Peste, Monsieur Sandwith! You seem to have a head ready for all emergencies.
"That would be the best plan, my dear. What Monsieur Sandwith says is very true. The less we give the neighbours to gossip about the better; for though your disguises are good, if sharp eyes are watching you they may note something in your walk or air that may excite suspicion."
