A wild scene in the Harz Mountains gives way to an enchanted hail in which are seen the most famous courtesans of ancient history Phryne, Lais, Aspasia, Cleopatra, and Helen of Troy. The apparition of Marguerite appears to Faust, a red line encircling her neck, like the mark of a headsman's axe. We reach the end.
Then Marguerite, shuddering from head to foot, so that the very bed shook with her nervous movements, gasped: "Sit down, sister, and listen." The priest stooped toward the prostrate Suzanne, raised her to her feet, placed her in a chair, and, taking a hand of each of the sisters, pronounced: "Lord God! Send them strength!

From the count's bedroom they passed into his study, followed by Mademoiselle Marguerite, Madame Leon, and the servants. By noon every article of furniture in which M. de Chalusse would have been likely to deposit his valuables or a will, had been searched, and nothing, absolutely nothing, had been found.
For we remember that Claude already knew that Marguerite was in the city, at least had her own mother's word for it. Here, weeks had passed. New Orleans is not so large; its active centre is very small. Even by accident, on the street, Canal Street especially, he should have seen her time and again. And he did not; at any rate not to know it.
Marguerite had saved Berquin and had even taken him into her service.
