It matters not what I have been doing, she murmured in reply to his questions,
gpt
I have but little time to give you my warning. _Ecoute_. Bonhomme and his men are gone only to carry back their dead and wounded, and to bring cutlasses, and the two or three sailors who were left on the schooner. I have followed them--God knows how--and heard something of their plans. They will make an attack--now, in a moment--in two different places. But these attacks will be shams,--is not that the word?--they will mean nothing. It is the Oak Parlour that they desire to enter. At the window of that so horrible room Bonhomme will try to make an entrance without alarm while the others hold your attention at the front and back of the Inn. Is it that you understand? It is necessary that you are prepared for these sham attacks, but the great danger is Bonhomme. The window in the Oak Parlour is not strong. They have information--recent information--from the Marquis probably,--that it will not be difficult to break in. One of you must conceal himself in the dark and shoot Bonhomme when he enters; you must shoot and shoot to kill, then we will be safe. I have no fear of Monsieur le Marquis. The others--they are brutes--but they will flee. And they know nothing, they do this for money,--ah, _mon Dieu_, for money which I have furnished!

Claire, you are on our side? You swear it.
gpt
Ah, _mon Dieu_! is it that I deserve this? she exclaimed bitterly.
human
Ah! I tell you truth, she cried.
gpt
You must believe me--Listen! Are they come already?
human
No, no, there is nothing. But I trust you, I will go.
gpt
Let me go with you. It is terrible to me to enter again that room; but I desire to prove myself of honour. _Allous, allous_!
human
Tom is there.
gpt
Ah! send him here to the bar. But do you come, _mon ami_. See, I go with you.
