"When I think that on my account you go to live for some time among these wretches " "What is that to me, now that there is no risk of their contaminating me. M. Rudolph has washed me too well. I am insured against fire." And the Slasher followed the keeper. Germain entered the apartment of the governor. What was his surprise he found Rigolette there.
On the following night the naval brigade astonished the camp by giving private theatricals. The bill was headed "Theatre Royal, Naval Brigade. On Friday evening, 31st August, will be performed, 'Deaf as a Post, to be followed by 'The Silent Woman, the whole to conclude with a laughable farce, entitled 'Slasher and Crasher. Seats to be taken at seven o'clock.
"Oh! as to that, you are wrong, M. Germain," said the Slasher, so seriously this time, and with such an accent of sincerity, that Germain was forced to believe him. "But want, hunger, drove you, then, to this extremity?" "Hunger?
We will work, we will live retired and tranquil, like good farmers, except occasionally trying our skill, as marksmen, on the Arabs. Ah! there La Louve will help us." "If it should come to blows, I am at home there, Martial," said the Slasher, slightly animated. I am unmarried, and I have been a trooper." "And I a poacher!" "But you you have a wife, and these two children whom you have adopted.
And yet to think that it is you, M. Germain," added the Slasher, uttering a heavy sigh, in a manner jokingly contrite, "who are the cause of my misfortune!" "When you explain yourself more clearly, I shall understand you. Joke as much as you please, my gratitude for the service you have rendered me will be none the less," said Germain, sadly.
If you hadn't splashed so loudly with your tail " "I didn't splash with my tail," retorted Slasher angrily. "You did," insisted Jabber. "I say I didn't!" "I say you did!" "Well, well," said grandma, as she paused to gather up her fancy work, "everybody knows that a family quarrel is the worst kind of quarrel.
At the moment that he threatened the prince with his knife, the Slasher with one hand grasped the arm of the villain, and with the other seized him by the throat, and gave him the trip backward.
The Slasher was unable to suppress a hearty fit of laughter. "Oh! I comprehend," cried Germain. "But you will see if I had not ill-luck: no police passed. I could have robbed myself twenty times at my ease.
"I ask your pardon, M. Germain," answered the Slasher, becoming more serious; "you do not like to see me laugh at this; let us speak no more about it. I must have a little explanation with you, and force you, perhaps, once more to offer me your hand."
Before we pursue our narrative, let us say a few words touching the recently established connection between the Slasher and Martial. As soon as Germain had left the prison, the Slasher, who easily proved that he had robbed himself, confessed to the judge the reason of this singular deceit, and was set at liberty after receiving a severe and just reproof from the magistrate.
