This was during the autumn and winter of 1833-34; ano ^ tne men who were in power were determined to silence the ever-increasing rumour of Louis XVIFs returning to claim his throne and the allegiance of his subjects.
In the spring of 1834, ** was resolved to proceed to ex- treme measures against Martin, and with this object he was lured into the house of one of Louis Philippe's secret- service agents, the Comtesse d', who passed herself off upon him as a devoted partisan of the rightful king — ...and there slowly poisoned. This process lasted many days, during which the perfidious woman endeavoured to make Martin believe that her voice from behind a cur- tain of the bed on which he lay dying, was that of his angel.
Unceasingly for hours at a time, she commanded him to say that all he had ever said as to Louis XVII being in existence was a lie, and that his angel had never told him that Louis XVIII and Charles X were usurpers; but that he had done it for a political purpose.
This he steadfastly refused to do, in spite of the anguish LOUIS XVIII AND THE SEER OF GALLARDON that he suffered from each fresh administration of the poison in his food and drink; not even when, as happened again and again, the voice behind the curtain whispered to him that, if he did not retract his statements, he would die and be damned, did he weaken.
