Victorine sought in vain for Annette in the darkness, dressed, as she was, like all the other peasant girls; but her eye lighted on the tall, powerful figure of Jules Leroux, Annette's father, standing at the door of the bureau du port, where he and some others were discussing the signals.
Peter Leroux was a poor ploughman in the environs of Beaugeney. After passing the day in leading across the fields the three horses which were generally yoked to his plough, he returned to the farm in the evening, supped without many words, with his fellow-labourers, lighted his lantern, and then retired to bed in a species of shed communicating with the stables.
"Thank you," said Leroux, meeting her eyes momentarily. "I feared that I was about to be sent to bed like a naughty boy!" "I hope it's fine to-morrow," said Helen rapidly. "A drive to Richmond will be quite delightful." "I think, myself," agreed Leroux, "that it will hasten my recovery to breathe the fresh air once again."

Leroux; there are human ones, and, like the others, when food is scarce they prey upon each other." "I like your spirit!" exclaimed Simon, staring at her with frank admiration. And Jacqueline's head drooped then.
"Of course," said the solicitor, rising in turn, and adjusting the troublesome pince-nez, "there was some intrigue with Leroux? So much is evident." "You will be thinking that, eh?" "My dear Inspector" Mr. Debnam, the wily, was seeking information "my dear Inspector, Leroux's own wife was absent in Paris quite a safe distance; and Mrs.
Oh! it is a big case, a very big case. Poor Mr. Leroux being confined to his bed ah! I pity him I took the opportunity to visit his flat in Palace Mansions with Inspector Dunbar, and I obtained further evidence showing how the conspiracy had been conducted; yes. For instance, Dunbar's notebook showed me that Mr. Leroux was accustomed to receive letters from Mrs.
