It were idle to recall to you all the reasons that expose you to peril.

The last step that should place you sur le sopha de la presidence, but brings you to the scaffold; and the mob will spit on your face as it has spat on those whom you have judged.

Take your part according to our arrangements,--all is prepared.

I conclude,--our courier waits.
