Robeccal protested and raved, all to no purpose.
Vidocq went to the door and called; four men, each Hercules, appeared.
"Take this fellow away," said Vidocq, "he is to go with the other prisoners to Toulon in the morning."
Robeccal began to curse and swear.
"You will gag him," added Vidocq, "it is better. Good-bye, Monsieur Robeccal, I don't think we are likely to meet again!"
Vidocq looked on with a satirical smile while Robeccal was carried off.
Some months later he endeavored to make his escape from Toulon, and was shot.
