That night a pony and cart took away from the house of Annette's father the chest of drawers, the bed, the bedding, the pieces of linen, and the pile of yarn which had been made ready so long against Benoit's coming. Medallion had said he could sell them at once, and he gave her the money that night; but this was after he had had a talk with the Cure, to whom Annette had told all.
Sam was at the side of the chaise immediately. "Sam, I want a glass of water; where can I get it?" "Guess at Mrs. Benoit's, Miss Daisy. There's a fine spring of cold water." "Who is Mrs. Benoit?" "It's Juanita Miss Daisy has heard of Mrs. St. Leonard's Juanita. Mr. St. Leonard built a house for her, just the other side o' them trees." Daisy knew who Juanita was.
He sprang out, threw the reins two or three times over the gate-post; then executed the very difficult operation of taking Daisy out of the wagon. He could not do it without hurting her; she fainted on his shoulder; and it was in this state, white and senseless, that he carried her into Mrs. Benoit's cottage. The old woman had seen them, and met him at the door.
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.
"Juanita, I think I want to please myself." "Jesus please not Himself," said the black woman. Daisy made no answer to that. She bent over and hid her little head in Mrs. Benoit's lap. And tears undoubtedly came, though they were quiet tears. The black woman's hand went tenderly over the little round head. "And He say to His lambs 'Follow me. "
All over the island other bands were in readiness, their orders being to wait until they heard of the fall of Port-au-Prince, when the massacre of all whites might begin. Benoit's plan was to take the city at daybreak. At midnight, he started three columns of 300 men each, from three directions. They wandered into the city by twos and threes, taking up positions.
