He was now standing close to La Ramee, to whom his tone of voice, and the sight of the dagger levelled at his heart, intimated plainly enough that M. de Beaufort would keep his word. Meanwhile Grimaud, silent as the grave, took out of the pie the second poniard, the rope-ladder, and the gag. La Ramee followed each of these objects with his eyes with a visibly increasing terror. "Oh, Monseigneur!" cried he, looking at the duke with an air of stupefaction, which at any other time would have made M. de Beaufort laugh heartily, "you would not have the heart to kill me?" "No, if you do not oppose my flight." "But, Monseigneur, if I let you escape, I am a ruined man." "I will pay you the value of your office." "And if I defend myself, or call out?" "By the honour of a gentleman, you die upon the spot!" At this moment the clock struck. "Seven o'clock," said Grimaud, who had not yet uttered a word. La Ramee made a movement. The duke frowned, and the unlucky jailer felt the point of the dagger penetrate his clothes, and press against his breast.
