[In the Reign of Terror by G. A. Henty]@TWC D-Link bookIn the Reign of Terror CHAPTER VI 1/28
An Anxious Time Harry and the girls had brought bundles of clothes with them in their flight, as it would have looked strange had they arrived without any clothes save those they wore.
Harry had brought with him only underlinen, as he had nothing else which would be of service to him now.
No sooner had Louise Moulin left him than he went out and purchased, at a second-hand shop, a workman's suit.
This he carried home, and dressing himself in it descended the stairs again and set out to retrace his steps across Paris. When he reached the mansion of the marquis he found a crowd of people going in and out.
Those leaving the house were laden with articles of furniture, clocks, pictures, bedding, and other things. A complete sack of the mansion was indeed taking place.
