To escape hanging on the charge
of sedition, Andre-Louis Moreau flees
from his native town of Gavrillac
and hides his identity as a member of

His flight has caused him to delay

BOOK III.: THE
CHAPTER
“You may agree,” ........ ......
Ix>uis from Paris to Le Chapelier, in
a letter which survives, “that it is to
be regretted I should definitely dis
carded the livery of Scaramouche,
since clearly there could be no livery
fitter for my wear. It seems to be my
part always to stir up strife and then
to slip away before I am caught in
the crash of the warring elements I
have aroused. It is a humiliating re
flection. This time they may want to
hang me for several things, including
murder; for I do not know whether
that scoundrel Binet be alive or dead
from the dose of lend I pumped into
his fat peunch.”
There is also another- letter of Ms
written at about the same time to
the Marquis de La Tour d’Azyr.
“The Paris newspapers,” he Writes
in this, “inform me that you have
escaped the fate I intended for you
when 1 raised that storm of public
indignation. I rejoice in it. Had you
died, had you been torn limb from
limb that night, I should now repiiie
in the thought of your untroubled
slumber. In torment of mind should
the guilty atone.
“I am content that you should live
to engage and suffer in the shadow
Of your evil deed, knoWnig at last that
the voice of Philippe de Vilmorin will
follow you to denounce you ever more
loudly, ever more insistently, until
having lived in dread you shall go
’ down in blood under the just rage
which your victim’s dangerous gift of
eloquence is kindling against you.”
Those two letters, both written in
April of that year 1789, had for only
immediate effect to increase the activ
ity with which Andre-Louis Moreau
was being sought.
Chapelier would have found Andre-
Louis to urge upon him once again to
take up a political career. The electors
of Nantes would have found him—at

“To the box! Death to the butcher of
Rennes! Death to La Tour d’Azyr!’/
There was a rush for one of the
doors of the pit that opened upon the
staircase leading to the boxes.
M. Binet succeeded in breaking past
Polichinelle and Rhodomont. Half a
dozen gentlemen, habitues of the
green-room, had come round to the
Stage to disembowel the lenave who
had created this riot, and it was they
who had flung aside these two com
edians who hung upon Binet. After
him they came now, their swords' out;
but after them again came Polichin-
elle, Rhodomont, Harlequin, Pierrot,
Pasquariel, armed with such imple
ments as they could hastily snatch
up, and intent upon saving the man
with yrhom they sympathized1 in spite
of all. s
Well ahead rolled Binet, swinging
the long cane from which Pantaloon
is inseparable.
“Infamous scoundrel!” he roared.

Andre-Louis turned to face him.

With a purpose no less vindictive

Soviet representative here, who quid,
“No confiscated properties would’ be
returned to their owners, and in no
event would compensation be paid by
the Soviet Government.”
The withdrawal of diplomatic rela
tions and special trading facilities,
Mr. Urquhart concluded, had “at last
cleared the dlecks, reinstated British
creditors to their rightful poritilon, a
position more hopeful for the settle
ment of out' claims than we have hold
since the trade agreement of 1921 was
signed. After what has happened,
we.must realize that nothing on earth
can bring about a resumption of nor
mal relations with this country on the
former terms, and that a prerequkite
condition will now be a settlement of
its debts and liabilities.”
Mr. Urquhart’s view finds support
in financial circles. The Financial
Times, for example, says: “However
the Communists of Russia may detect
our capitalistic system, however much
they may plead for its destruction,
they fervently desire political recog
nition by-the British Empire, because,
as Mr. Urquhart says, they badly
need our cash.” It continues: “If re
lations are resumed', it can only be on
a basis of the settlement of outstand
ing claims and a definite repudiation
of the policy of barefaced, shamless
robbery.”
