The dummy was just splendid, with real hair on its head; Madame helped me to substitute it for the child; we laid it on the sofa and covered it over with a rug, even while those brutes Heron and Cochefer were on the landing outside, and we stuffed His Majesty the King of France into a linen basket.

The room was badly lighted, and any one would have been deceived.

No one was suspicious of that type of trickery, so it went off splendidly.

I moved the furniture of the Simons out of the Tower.

His Majesty King Louis XVII was still concealed in the linen basket.
