At length Mademoiselle Scuderi managed to find out, with D'Andilly's help, that the King had had a long interview with Count Miossens; further, that Bontems, the King's confidential groom of the chamber and secret agent, had been to the Conciergerie, and spoken with Brusson; that, finally, the said Bontems, with several other persons, had paid a long visit to Cardillac's house.
Possibly Brusson, by revealing his secret, or otherwise, may manage to dispel the suspicion which is on him at present.

Mademoiselle Scuderi could not but agree with what d'Andilly's great experience dictated.
Count Miossens closely followed D'Andilly's advice, and everything fell out just as he had said it would. It was now time to repair to the King; and this was the chief difficulty of all, as he had such an intense horror of Brusson whom he believed to be the man who had for so long kept Paris in a state of terror that the least allusion to him threw him at once into the most violent anger.
