You will be perfectly safe there till we can arrange matters." "But if Robespierre has signed my release, as they said, I am safe enough, surely, and can go where I like." "I think you will be safe from re-arrest here in Paris, Marie, because you could appeal to him; but outside Paris it might be different.
However, we can talk about that to-morrow, when you have had a good night's rest." Harry did not think it necessary to say, that when Lebat was missed it would probably be ascertained that he was last seen leaving La Force with her, and that if inquiries were set on foot about him she might be sought for.

However, Marie said no more on the subject, quite content that Harry should make whatever arrangements he thought best, and she now began to ask all sorts of questions about her sisters, and so passed the time until they were close to the Place de Carrousel; then Harry called Jacques to stop.
"Will you please get out, Marie, and wait with our good friend here till I return.

I shall be back in five minutes.

I have to hand the coach over to its owner." Jacques threw Lebat's clothes over his arm and got down from the box.

Harry took his seat and drove into the Place, where he found the coachman awaiting him.
"Have you managed the job ?" "That we have," Harry said.
