You can do nothing yourself.
Come, get out of the crowd." So saying he dragged Victor away.

It was well that they could not see what was taking place in the coaches, or Victor's fury would have been ungovernable, for several of the ruffians had drawn their swords and were hacking furiously at their prisoners.
"We will follow them," Harry said, when he and Victor had made their way out of the crowd; "but you must remember, Victor, that, come what may, you must keep cool.

You would only throw away your life uselessly; for Marie's sake you must keep calm.

Your life belongs to her, and you have no right to throw it away." "You are right, Henri," Victor said gloomily; "but how can one look on and see men inciting others to massacre?
What is going to take place?
We must follow them." "I am ready to follow them," Harry said; "but you must not go unless you are firmly resolved to restrain your feelings whatever may happen.

You can do no possible good, and will only involve yourself in the destruction of others." "You may trust me," the young count said; "I will be calm for Marie's sake." Harry had his doubts as to his friend's power of self-control, but he was anxious to see what was taking place, and they joined the throng that followed the coaches.
