whilst the king looked at him with a curiosity mingled with
admiration.
"Sire, I have, as I have said, now served the house of
France thirty-five years; few people have worn out so many
swords in that service as I have, and the swords I speak of

was to be afraid. Half an hour later the rectory was in darkness.
Before he retired, Muller had made a careful examination of the

to bed and soon fell asleep.
