"But didn't his friend the Marquis du Plessy discover the robbery? Why didn't he follow and take the thief?" "Dead men don't follow, monsieur the abbé. The Marquis du Plessy had a duel on his hands, and was killed the day after this Lazarre left Paris." Of all Bellenger's absurd fabrications this story was the most ridiculous. I laughed again.
What if Bellenger's recognition, and the Marquis du Plessy's, and Marie-Therese's, went for nothing? What if some other, and not this angry man, had sent the money to America The door opened again. We turned our heads, and I grew hot at the cruelty which put that idiot before my sister's eyes.
The sweet heartiness of an older man so far beyond myself in princely attainments and world knowledge, who could stoop to such a raw savage, took me by storm. I asked him if he had any idea who the idiot was that we had seen in Bellenger's camp. He shook his head, replying that idiots were plentiful, and the people who had them were sometimes glad to get rid of them.
When I saw it I remembered, as if my head were split open to show the picture, that my mother had read from that very book to me. I cannot explain it, but so it was." "I am not surprised she believes, against Bellenger's evidence, that you are Louis of France." "I will bring my book and show it to you." We compared the volumes after supper, and one was the mate of the other.
Having touched thus lightly on the case of the idiot, Abbé Edgeworth turned to me. The king's face retained its granite hardness. But Bellenger's passed from shade to shade of baffled confidence; recovering only when the priest said, "Now look at this young man. Have you ever seen him before?" "Yes, monsieur, I have; both in the American woods, and in Paris."
Bellenger's countenance changed, and he took his hand off his hip and let it hang down. "I received the prince, monsieur, from those who took him out of the Temple prison." "And you never exchanged him for another person, or allowed him to be separated from you?" Bellenger swore with ghastly lips "Never, on my hopes of salvation, monsieur the abbé!"
If she believed in me I did not care whether the others believed or not. I was going to begin with Lake George, the mountain, and the fog, and Bellenger's fear of me, and his rage when Louis Philippe told him the larger portion of the money sent from Europe was given to me. Facing Marie-Therese, therefore, instead of the Abbé Edgeworth, I spoke her name. She looked up once more.
Eagle sat down on a flat gravestone, and looked at the boy who seemed to be an object of dispute between the men of her family and the other man. He neither saw nor heard what passed. She said to herself "It would make no difference to me! It is the same, whether he is the king or not." Bellenger's eyes half closed their lids as if for protection from the sun.
