A BOGUS NAPOLEON 63 NAPOLEON ENTRUSTING HIS SECRETARY WITH THE KEY The Prince cut into the other's unflinching gaze with a poignant glance. ' ' Just so — you are cleverer at a bon mot than I should have imagined. However, it had occurred to me that this 'bit of perfidy/ with honors that shall follow its success, would be sufficient reparation.' ' "More than sufficient," said the count, in a tone of unmistakable sincerity that reassured the Prince. D'Arrienne 's smile, too, now erased all signs of the note of unpleasantness that had crept into their colloquy. "I have been told more than once, d'Arrienne, that you were as brave as a lion. Your courage may be put to the test. You will be given a brace of pistols, a sword and a dagger, on leaving the chateau. In case of discovery or treachery, after the papers are in the hands of our man, I shall expect you to cover his retreat and escape against the attack of the palace guards. Once outside, I shall see that he is taken care of." D'Arrienne bowed. "You will have passports admitting you to the palace day or night, in this packet — even into the presence of His Majesty, with plausible pretenses. However, I should not advise you to appear at the palace before the bogus Emperor is secured and prepared. You will be in danger. Give Carre whatever assistance lies in your power. He is more a man of wit, than of wits. ' ' The Prince rose, and d'Arrienne made his way to the door. "Nineteen Rue d'Aubigny is the rendezvous. I shall try to see you there at noon. Good luck, and good night!" In the hallway d'Arrienne girded on the sword, and the belt containing the pistols and the dagger. He examined each, an enigmatical smile playing about his taciturn face. At the door he found a cabriolet which the Prince had placed at his service.
