They were three. It was in the cheap night-service train from Paris to Calais that I first met them.
Even Monsieur Brisson is in that outrageous procession! Is it not enough that she should entice a repulsively bald-headed notary and an old rake of a major to make their brazen advances, without suffering this anatomy of a pharmacien to come treading on their heels? he with his hands imbrued in the life-blood of the unhappy old woman whom his mismade prescription sent in agony to the tomb!

The village pharmacien sold nothing to her without Laurent's consent, but there were ways and means of one sort or another by which she contrived to procure her poison, and at such times the old signs were always perceptible: the passion for solitude, the tricksy, changing spirit which varied from extravagant mirth to unreasonable anger.

As for finding her ladyship, that will depend entirely upon herself. I shall expect you back in about a week.
