They found the city in a state of defense, M. de Vezin having heard rumors of the advance. "Ah!" said the king, "he is warned; that is very annoying." "We must lay siege in due form, sire," said Mornay; "we expect still about 2,000 men, and that is enough." "Let us assemble the council and begin the trenches." Chicot listened to all this in amazement.
De Vezin had brought me a two-centime piece one day because I said I had never seen one, and I put a hole in it and hung it to my chain. Fred to call that a gage d'amour! "'Nonsense! said I. "'De Vezin thought the same when he saw it there. I took him for a fool, but I see he was right.
He shuffled upon the mat. "I must have gained time somewhere," he said at length "somewhere or somehow. I certainly had a week to my credit. I can't explain it. I can only give you the fact." "And this happened to you last year, since when you have never been back to the place?" "Last autumn, yes," murmured Vezin; "and I have never dared to go back. I think I never want to."
Only a magical and uncanny softness lay over them all like a spell." Vezin passed his hand across his eyes for a moment as though the memory had become very vivid. His voice had run off into a whisper so that we heard the last part with difficulty. He was telling a true thing obviously, yet something that he both liked and hated telling.
But the crystal is useless here, for I have no slightest clue to go upon, and I can only conclude that some singular psychic affinity, some force still active in his being out of the same past life, drew him thus to the personality of Vezin, and enabled him to fear what might happen to him, and thus to warn him as he did.
Maturin Bruneau, the next pretender to the honours of the deceased son of Louis XVI., was quite as great a rascal as Hervagault, but he lacked his cleverness. Bruneau was the son of a maker of wooden shoes, who resided at the little village of Vezin, in the department of the Maine and Loire.
"'You know it can't, said I. 'Haven't I told you the reason? "'It will be no reason when De Vezin asks you, said he suspiciously. "'De Vezin is nothing to me. "'You carry a gage d'amour from him on your watch-chain at this very minute. "Now, wasn't that talk silly?
"Yes," he presently continued, half talking to himself, "I suspect in this case that Vezin was swept into the vortex of forces arising out of the intense activities of a past life, and that he lived over again a scene in which he had often played a leading part centuries before. For strong actions set up forces that are so slow to exhaust themselves, they may be said in a sense never to die.
It was while lounging in the courtyard half an hour before the evening meal that Vezin made this discovery, and he at once went upstairs to his quiet room at the end of the winding passage to think it over alone.
He strayed a little distance from home, into regions where he was personally unknown, and there accosted a farmer whom he met, asking him for alms, and stating at the same time that he was a little "De Vezin."
