The Trampling of the Lilies

CHAPTER IX
6/22

I asked you to-day whether you were minded to lay information against me in Paris.

My faith, I am little concerned whether you do or not, for I think that before you can reach Paris, Captain Charlot Tardivet will be no more than a name in the Republican army.

Abroad I shall call myself Charlot du Tardivet, and I shall sleep in fine linen and live on truffles and champagne.
