bravest man in all the world world do you know Sandu my best friend is in London Margaret sanus suzan how often am I to tell you I will not have that woman's name mentioned in my presence but mother

Englishman do know her know her everybody in London knows lady Blakey lady Blake me have you something in your mouth not now Mr rumney I can't do justice to that lovely face when it's all bulged out with bon bons you may talk if you like but no bon bons and no gestures please all right Mr rney I'll tell you what it is about the pimpel that tantalizes me sir it his insufferable modesty there's no excuse for it it's mening to think that somewhere there's a man as marvelous as that and we never see him he's of no use to us whatever lady blatney I said no gestures please you must remember that I'm a fchw woman and when I talk I must use these as well as this you DET turn family arriving over today all except the father we should have to go back for him it's going to be devilish awkward after what's happened well I'll go and S Hastings if you'll let us we'll all go if it comes to that but even so we're only 20 and yesterday 30 people went to the Gear team are you trying to suggest there aren't enough of us there isn't a decent Englishman wouldn't be proud to join us we could be 500 a thousand within a week and within another week every one of us would be a Marked Man we shouldn't be able to rescue a single soul mere force is useless against people who are neither cowards nor fools we must match courage with courage and cunning with still greater cunning if we're to do anything at all we're all willing to give our lives but we must do more than that we must mask our identities suffer the humiliation of being taken for fops fools nitwits cowards but so many people die every day that could be saved do you think I don't feel that do you think I like sitting there in the shadow of the knife while one head Falls after another people I know and love innocent people

here marry a nice girl and have lovely children what a dreadful Prospect what has poor Armon done to be sentenced to matrimony you should know better my dear you're unhappy why Armon I have the satisfaction of knowing that the biggest fool in England has the most complete contempt for his wife Percy how did it happen I don't know I only know that when I I married him he was a man he was my lover I was glad to give up everything for him and now you mustn't leave me Armon I need you I'm all alone I can't stay you're going back to France but it's not safe for me I'm no Aristocrat for anyone under the terror I have to look after the blat estate in France oh Percy is so rich what does it mean to him he's not even interested in his English estates since the terror he wouldn't go over to France for all the treasures in the world why should you risk your life for his money I don't risk my life don't worry darling may I ask you something what's happened to you and margarit marriage I suppose why you loved her once I know do you remember the first family to go to the guillotine the sers they told me it was margarit who denounced them was a lie I wish I could believe that did you ask her I did and she flashed back a yes as sharp as the knife of the guillotine I watched that execution the Marquee his wife his son and it was my wife who put them there so that's why you cease to love her what a tragedy ceased I shall love her till I die that's the tragedy and it's to make up for what she did to them that you risk your own life week after week to rescue the others don't be so
