Each word, he felt, had a dreadful significance; the big linen handkerchief went back and forth across his face as he sought to mop away the sweat that oozed from every pore.

It had been one of a dozen papers turned over to the prosecutor's office for examination. Then she had jilted the land promoter for his nephew. Did his uncle know of the marriage of his nephew?
She hanged herself in strips of linen torn from her sheets and underclothing and twisted together. She had to be restored by artificial respiration.

"And what do they think at the public prosecutor's?
The sovereigns who commit such crimes evidently never think of the retribution to be exacted by Providence. When Jacques Collin went up the vaulted stairs to the public prosecutor's room, Bibi-Lupin was just coming out of the little door in the wall. The chief of the "Safety" had come from the Conciergerie, and was also going up to Monsieur de Granville.
