 The traitor Deutz agreed to sell to the government the secret of her hid ing place for 100000 francs, and it was the elder Didier's duty to pay the scOundrel for his dirty work. He took his son Henri into the office and said: :: Look well now at what passes and never forget it. You will learn what q lache is and the method of paying him."
