We cannot denounce him as a dynamiter; that is agreed.

We cannot get him detained on some trivial charge, for we should have to appear; he knows us, and he would smell a rat.

We cannot pretend to keep him on anarchist business; he might swallow much in that way, but not the notion of stopping in Calais while the Czar went safely through Paris.

We might try to kidnap him, and lock him up ourselves; but he is a well-known man here.

He has a whole bodyguard of friends; he is very strong and brave, and the event is doubtful.
