Lucas " His face had been a little clouded as he came down the stairs, and now it darkened more, but he answered: "Quite right, Achates. M. de Mayenne stands to his word. Lucas availed nothing." He stood a moment frowning, then his countenance cleared up. "My faith!
I have often thought that we were all children then, and knew nothing of the ingratitude of republics. Monsieur Vigo took the money, and was all his life many, many thousand dollars the poorer. Father Gibault advanced his little store, and lived to feel the pangs of want. And Colonel Clark? But I must not go beyond the troubles of that summer, and the problems that vexed our commander.
M. le Comte's face blazed as he cried out: "Vastly magnanimous! I thank him not. I'll none of his mercy. I expected his faith." "You had no claim to it, M. le Comte."
