" "He has no son but France. Do you remember what I told you that nightin my room? Better the one should suffer than the many. And now thereis a double reason, a double incentive to us both. Mademoiselle deVesc's life hangs upon it. Follow the chain of reasoning, and, forGod's sake, Stephen, follow closely. There is more than the life of agirl in all this. Jean Saxe cannot be suppressed even if we daredattempt it; Francois Villon, the King's jackal, who holds his life by athread, knows everythi...ng. Of all men he dares not keep silence, of allmen he would not keep silence if he dared, scum that he is. Within twodays the King will know all Saxe's accusations, and if we do not actfor ourselves another--Tristan or another--will come in our place. Wewill have destroyed ourselves for nothing, and there will be no hopefor the girl, none. Can you not guess Tristan's methods with women?But, Stephen, if we act, if we return to Valmy and say, 'Sire, we havedone our duty to the nation, with heavy hearts and in bitter sorrow wehave done it: even though we have laid love itself on the altar ofsacrifice, we have done it, give us this one life in return'--can theKing refuse?
