God knows ! I may have been a fool to think that it all rested with me, that the fate of nations was in my hands, Digitized by VjiJU*^ iC 70 BY STROKE OF SWORD and that I could change the course of history at a single stroke, but I was young then, young and ardent, and per- chance a trifle easily roused to excitement and the hope of great things, but, after all, it mattered little, for, as I made up my mind and stopped to consider what I should do next, my ears caught the sound of footsteps beh...ind me, stealthy footsteps as of a cat that creeps upon a bird. Restraining a wish to look behind, I loosened my sword within its sheath and wished I had taken De Papillon's dagger with me ; then I walked on again and purposely made for a dark comer to see if by any chance I might learn the mean- ing of these sounds. Straining my ears, I listened closely and could hear them coming nearer and nearer, and again I felt the cold shiver in my back as I had done when the cattle charged me. Next moment I had passed into the shadow of a balcony, the steps quickened, came close behind me and ceased, then silently and swiftly I swung round upon my heels and gripped with both my hands an arm which held aloft a dagger.
