Tod jeder Tyrannei!

Die Arbeit werde frei!

Marsch, marsch,

Marsch, marsch!

Und wär’s zum Tod!

Denn unsere Fahn’ ist roth!

All joined in the refrain.

Auban hummed the French words of the Marseillaise... How many times already had he heard it, how many times already joined in singing it? In hope, in revolt, in despair, in the confidence of victory? Who had not already sung it?

Auban chanced to see how the eyes of a young man — he was evidently a Pole or a Russian — were suspiciously resting on his strange form. He could not help smiling.

Should he tell him who he was? — They did not know him any more. But still the mere mention of his name would have sufficed to at once put to flight all doubt and suspicion.

But he refrained from doing it. He looked at his watch: he must not stay much longer, if he still wished to catch the last train of the underground road for King’s Cross at Aldgate.

He went. They had reached the closing stanza of the song. They sang: —

Tod jeder Tyrannei!

Die Arbeit werde frei!

Marsch, marsch,

Marsch, marsch!

Und wär’s zum Tod.!

Denn unsere Fahn’ ist roth!

Denn unsere — Fahn’ ist — roth!

Denn unsere — Fahn’ — ist — roth!
