In the Reign of Terror

CHAPTER X
34/42

I will give you the other when I change places with you.

Be at the Place de Carrousel at half-past seven.

I shall be on the look-out for you.
"I won't fail," the coachman said; "you may rely upon that." Harry now hurried away to his friend Jacques, and rapidly gave an account of what had taken place.
"In the first place, Jacques, I want your wife to see her friend and to get her to take a note instantly to the warder, for him to give to Mademoiselle de St.Caux.It is to tell her to make no resistance when Lebat presents the order for her release, but to go with him quietly; because if she appeals to the warders and declares that she would rather die than go with him, it is just possible that they might refuse to let him take her away, saying that the order was for her release, but not for her delivery to him.
I don't suppose they would do so, because as one of the members of the Committee of Public Safety he is all-powerful; still it would be as well to avoid any risk whatever of our scheme failing.

I will drive to the Rue Montagnard, which, as you know, is close to La Force.

It is a quiet street, and it is not likely there will be anybody about at half-past eight.
