The news came to the Baron de Croiseuil when he was lying in bed at his hotel. A long cable in cipher from Brussels told him what had happened, and wound up with instructions as to how he should act.

"Good-morning, Baron," the latter remarked, when the Belgian came in; but his greeting was not returned.
