Antonius saw the face of his friend saw and understood; and the other seemingly doomed men understood likewise. In an instant the barge would pass under the bridge! Will you lay hands on two inviolate tribunes of the plebs, and those under their personal protection; and by your very act become a sacer an outlaw devoted to the gods, whom it is a pious thing for any man to slay?"
When the Chevalier turned his back on mixed society and entrenched himself on the Mons Sacer of the aristocracy, his witticisms thenceforward were directed at du Croisier's salon; he stirred up the fires of war, not knowing how far the spirit of revenge was to urge the rival faction.
