"Vai niin", sanoi presidentti; "jatkakaa".
Kaksi todistajaa.
Oli katkeraa ivaa, että mies, joka oli niin kauvan urheillut kuoleman
kanssa ja hieronut sillä kauppoja, tuotiin itse tänne kuolleena,
paljastettavaksi ja tuijoteltavaksi! Vähänpä nyt oli hyötyä hänen
kujeistaan ja kemiallisista sekoituksistaan, hänen kamalista
tiedoistaan ja siitä salaperäisyydestä, johon hän oli verhoutunut.
Manala oli saanut hänet kolkon pään, mustan sydämen ja kaikki.
Niin tylsinä kuin hänen aistinsa vielä olivatkin, huomasi hän, että
kuningas istui kumartuneena eteenpäin, omituinen terävä ilme
kasvoillaan,— että tuomarit näyttivät hämmästyneiltä, että
kardinaalinkin kalvaat piirteet olivat hieman punehtuneet. Ja
yksikään heistä ei katsonut häneen. He olivat kääntyneet poikaan,
joka seisoi pöydän päässä papin vieressä. Ikkunasta osui kalsea
valo hänen kasvoilleen, ja hän puhui. "Minä kuuntelin", kuuli
madame hänen sanovan. "Niin."
"Ja kuinka pitkä aika kului ennen kuin madame de Vidoche tuli?"
kysyi presidentti, nähtävästi pitkittäen kuulustelua, jonka alkuosasta
syytetty ei tiennyt mitään.
"Varma olen."
"Ja madame?"
"Lemmenjauhetta."
"Molemmat."
"Niin."
"Niin."
Poika myönsi.
"Rolandin verestä?"
"Missä asuit?"
