But this and the simplicity with
which he said It drew so loud a roar Of
| laughter from the crowd as penetrated
even to his dulled senses. Turning alb
ruptly, as If 2 bee had stung him, he
found the place convulsed with merri-
ment, and, pereeiving in an instant that
had played upon him, though he could
not understand how or why, he glared
about him a moment, muttered some
thing which I could not catch and stag
gered away with the gait of drunken
man.
After this the crowd hesitated to
come forward even to pay. and I was
considering what I should do next,
when commotiOn in one corner of the
square drew my eyes TO that quarter.
Then, the crowd dividing and making
way for him, perceived the real Grin
guet-Gringuet who rode through the
market with an air of grim majesty,
with one foot in a huge slipper and
eyes glazing with Ill temper.
On seeing me in my chair Of state
he merely grinned in a vicious way and
cried to the nearest not to let me es-
cape I'VE have lost one rogue, but we
VIII hang the other" he said. And
while the toWnsfolk stood dumfound-
ed round US he slipped with a groan
from his horse and babe his two serv-
ants seize me.
A glance showed me that if I would
not be drawn into an unseemly brawl
must act, and, meeting Maignan's eager
eye fixed upon my face, I nodded, In
second he seized the unsuspecting Grin
guet by the neck, snatched him up from
the chair and flung him half a dozen
PAGES away. Lie there" he cried. you
insolent rascal! Who told you to sit
before your betters?"
The violence Of the action and
Maignan's heat were such that the
nearest drew back affrighted, and even
Gringuet's servants recoiled, while the
market people gasped with astonish-
ment. But I knew that the respite
would last moment only, and stood
forward. ARREST that man." I said,
pointing to the collector, who was
groveling on the ground, nursing his
foot and shrieking foul threats at US.
In second my two men stood over
him. I'm the kings name" La Trape
cried, ''let no man interfere"
Raise him up" I continued. land
set him before me; and Curtin also,
and FOnvelle. and Phillippon and Les
caut. the corn dealer. If he is here"
I spoke boldly, and so mighty is the
habit of command that the crowd, far
from resisting, thrust forward the men
1 named. Still, I could not count on
this obedience, and II was with pleasure
that I saw at this moment, as I looked
over the heads Of the crowd, body of
horsemen entering the square. They
halted an instant, looking at the I'M
usual concourse. Then BoisrueiI, see
ing me, and that 1 was holding some
sort of court. spurred his horse through
the press and saluted me.
Let half dozen of your varlets dis
mount and guard these men," I said:
land do you, you rogue" I continued.
addressing Gringuet, answer me and
tell me the truth. How much does each
Of these knaves give you to cheat the
king and your master? Curtin first
How much does he give you?"
