I was about to ask you if you had heard any news of
them? Surely you ought to be able to tellme better than any other person. In
theshadow was a carriage with two horses, and some saddlehorses.
The snare is rather MALADROIT for the cardinal,
replied theyoung man, smiling. Planchet took place behind his master, and kept ata
distance of ten paces from him.
That the thing was impossible, seeing that you were
not at home,as he could see.
Thats well, said he to Planchet, when the latter
added theportmanteau to the equipment. Yes, monsieur, said Planchet, and I will go
as soon as youplease.
We left Paris, eachwith seventy-five pistoles in
his pocket.
But as you spoke to him you must have seen
him.
Which is a great chance, replied Planchet, but we
must notdespair of the mercy of God. It is a wound that confines him to his
bed?
The snare is rather MALADROIT for the cardinal,
replied theyoung man, smiling.
Has he not all the tricks of a demon athis
command?
This evening, monsieur, I am detained in Paris by
indispensablebusiness.
This timehe had decided to relate all that had
passed.
Surely you ought to be able to tellme better than
any other person.
He went and resumed his post, beginning to berather
uneasy at this silence and this solitude. In theshadow was a carriage with two
horses, and some saddlehorses.
The decanters broken in pieces, and the
fruitscrushed, strewed the floor. The snare is rather MALADROIT for the cardinal,
replied theyoung man, smiling.
Do you think, then, monsieur, that we shall travel
faster withtwo horses apiece?
But as you spoke to him you must have seen him.
