You see what your friends have done. No doubt you
approve their methods." He was coldly hostile.
Andre-Louis looked at him without surprise. So invariably opposed

"If you won't tell them what is to be done, I will," said he.
"Nom de Dieu! If you want to invite a bullet from the other side,
I shall not hinder you. It may help to square the account."

answer to that challenge Andre-Louis sprang up on to the plinth.

intention to speak on behalf of Privilege, of which he was a
publicly appointed representative, Le Chapelier clutched him by the
leg to pull him down again.
"Ah, that, no!" he was shouting. "Come down, you fool. Do you
think we will let you ruin everything by your clowning? Come down!"
Andre-Louis, maintaining his position by clutching one of the legs
of the bronze horse, flung his voice like a bugle-note over the
heads of that seething mob.
