"I am sure of it."
"In the name of the law," said Fouquier, "I require that the witness Lorin shall be placed before this Tribunal as an accomplice of this woman."
Maurice groaned, while Geneviève buried her face in her hands.
Simon screamed out in a transport of joy, "Citizen Prosecutor, you are the savior of your country!"
As to Lorin, he leaped over the balustrade without making any reply, and seating himself near to Geneviève, took her hand, and respectfully kissed it, saying, "Good-day, Madame," with a coolness which electrified the assembly; "how do you do?"
Then he took his seat on the bench of the accused.
