Then Morrison, Studdert, and three natives followed, and the boat pulled away clear of the ship, and stood by. "Pull up, boys!" cried Oliver to the men in the third boat the one which the firemen had rushed. Then turning to Latour, who was standing near him with a sack half full of heavy articles firearms, ammunition, the ship's books, etc. he bade him go first.
Dubois brought from the cupboard coats, hats, tri-color cockades and sashes, sabres and wigs, which he placed upon the table. "You will remember what Citizen Latour said, monsieur," said Mercier, turning to Barrington. "You were to do as I directed. One false step and your lives are forfeit, and mine, and Citizen Latour's too." "We go to "
"That's a woman's writing," said the man. "But not a writing you know?" "Quite strange to me." When he was alone, Seth locked his door and again examined the writing. His master only knew one woman in Paris, and surely she could not be writing to him. She must know where he was. If she didn't, then in some fashion Latour had deceived him.
Latour was keenly alive to the angry storm which threatened, but this was not the moment to face it. A few hours might turn storm to sunshine, or perchance increase the storm to a veritable cyclone against which no man could stand. He passed into the street and out of the crowd, his face firm set, unreadable. He showed no sign of fear, he seemed curiously indifferent to man's opinion of him.
"I am inclined to return to Paris at once," said Barrington. "I would ask you to remember all that Citizen Latour said to you," was the answer. "He bid me repeat this to you as constantly as you were inclined to doubt." "Do you know what Latour said to me?" "No." "Am I to see Latour at the end of this journey?" "That I do not know.
"Of one Richard Barrington, a liar I was fool enough to trust. Oh, this is no time for fighting," Latour went on quickly, as sudden anger stiffened Barrington's figure, and gave a dangerous fire to his eyes. "You will be wise to hear me out. This was a place of safety, it is a prison, and a word from me will send you to the guillotine as surely as we are standing face to face at this moment."
"Now," thought the prince, "now would be the opportunity for retaliation. If I had but the means! Latour." continued he, aloud, "do the iron gates of entrance open within or without?" "Without, your highness." "So that if we could get access to the street, we might cage up these base-born villains, might we not?"
The struggle with Raymond Latour might be a more equal one than it appeared on a first consideration. Next morning he told Seth his plans. "First I shall see Monsieur Bruslart early this afternoon as arranged. Unless he should have had some extraordinary success last night, which is hardly to be expected, I shall then go and see Latour." "It may be only to walk into a den of lions," said Seth.
In one of the tense passages, where Marie Latour is pleading with the son of the peasant to flee for his life before the agents of her father come and capture them both, and the cat lies asleep on the hearth, there was a sudden uproar, and a dog bounded through the entrance of the stage. The cat rushed around in terror and finally ran up the curtain.
I shall therefore ask you to consider about what the chances are that a series of guesses like those which I made would represent the exact facts as M. Latour has claimed, while at the same time you do not lose sight of the undeniable fact that upon the only detail regarding which I had positive information, M. Latour bore false testimony."
