Good-day to you, Maître Jacques.”
“And to you greeting, Maître,” responded the man in black.
There was between these two greetings— the offhand Maître Jacques of the one, and the obsequious Maître of the other— the difference between “Sir” and “Your Lordship,” of domne and domine. It was evidently the meeting between master and disciple.
“Well,” said the Archdeacon, after another interval of silence which Maître Jacques took care not to break, “will you succeed?”
“Alas, master,” replied the other with a mournful smile, “I use the bellows assiduously— cinders and to spare— but not a spark of gold.”
Dom Claude made a gesture of impatience. “That is not what I allude to, Maître Jacques Charmolue, but to the charge against your sorcerer— Marc Cenaine, you call him, I think — butler to the Court of Accounts. Did he confess his wizardry when you put him to the question?”
