Where the curtain came from, one of Mrs. Benoit's great locked chests knew; there were two or three such chests in the inner room, with more treasures than a green moreen curtain stowed away in them. The curtain was too large for the clothes-horse to hold up; it lay over the floor.
"The thunder and lightning are ceasing, but it rains hard." The lady stepped out of the room to get ready, and in a few minutes she and her husband, Capt. Drummond and the doctor, were seated in the carriage and on their way to Mrs. Benoit's cottage. Capt. Drummond told how the accident happened; after that he was silent; and so were the rest of the party, till the carriage stopped. Mrs.
Benoît did not seem even to notice the humble little fellow, but Ernestine took pity on him and assured him that she would look after him. "All right, sonny," she said, "Mealy won't squash you; and if he tries any of his games on you, Ernestine will look after you." She took his head between her two hands and kissed his forehead affectionately, ignoring Mealy Benoît's angry protests.
The carriage was easy; she was nicely placed; and through the open glass before her she could look out quite uninterruptedly. It was so pleasant, she thought, even to see the road and the fences again. That little bit of view before Mrs. Benoit's window she had studied over and over till she knew it by heart.
As Chrysler could not recall his son, as such, he waited before replying. "He saw you at Benoit's." Still Chrysler paused. "On Sunday." "A ha, now I remember. That fine young man is your son?"

"Assuredly.
"Does it storm yet?" she asked. "The thunder and lightning are ceasing, but it rains hard." The lady stepped out of the room to get ready, and in a few minutes she and her husband, Captain Drummond and the doctor, were seated in the carriage and on their way to Mrs. Benoit's cottage.
DOONE. Yes, poor brute. That smashed Benoit's chances of promotion altogether. Mrs. Benoit used to ask: 'Was you goin' to the dance this evenin'? CURTISS. Hang it all! Gaddy hasn't married beneath him. There's no tar-brush in the family, I suppose. JERVOISE. Tar-brush! Not an anna. You young fellows talk as though the man was doing the girl an honour in marrying her.
Benoit's?" remarked the doctor. "No Oh, no, I didn't. I did not have it dull at all." "How did you escape that, Daisy?" "I do not know, Dr. Sandford. There was no room for dulness." The gentlemen smiled, but Daisy's father with a not altogether satisfied expression. He grew satisfied, as he marked the changes in Daisy's face. The ride was delightful to her.
And Caroline bursts into tears. "I've been pumping Benoit." "What is Benoit's opinion?" "Benoit thinks that the woman is a go-between, for monsieur keeps his secret from everybody, even from Benoit." For a week Caroline lives the life of the damned; all her savings go to pay spies and to purchase reports.
