Eugene ; " take mine. Look, what could be better ! "" and in filling the portfolio with the visitors' passes, he slipped in two others.
At that psychological instant, Duvergier and La- verderie presented themselves at the gate.
" Your names, messieurs ? " and they gave the names which were entered on Eugene's passes.
The passes were turned up. The warder handed them over, and still thanking Eugene for his pres- ent bowed the fugitives out of the prison.
CHAPTER VIII.
THE ABBAYE.
IT was the monk...s, as tradition wills it, who hol- lowed out the cruel cells of the Abbaye de Saint-Germain-des-Pres. The architect Gomard, in- sisting that cells were not included in the bond, with- drew when he had put his last touches to the cloisters. But in 1630, or thereabouts, no monastery was com- plete without its oubliettes, and the prior commanded his brethren to finish the work of the too-scrupulous Gomard. Thus was the Abbaye equipped as an abbaye should be.
What power indeed, spiritual or temporal, had not the privilege in those days of setting up its pillory, its gallows, its pile of faggots built around a stake !
