And remarking the old poacher's discontented face, she said, vehemently: "I will do nothing lightly. Do not lose sight of Martial. If he goes to the Borderie, and he will go there, I must be informed of it. If he writes, and he will write, try to procure one of his letters. I must see you every other day. Do not rest! Strive to deserve the good place I am reserving for you at Courtornieu. Go!"
A man had just appeared around a turn of the road leading to Sairmeuse. He was advancing bareheaded in the middle of the dusty road, with hurried strides, and occasionally brandishing his stick, as if threatening an enemy visible to himself alone. Soon they were able to distinguish his features. "It is Chanlouineau!" exclaimed M. Lacheneur. "The owner of the vineyards on the Borderie?" "The same!
At the sight of the honest farmer, who came toward him, his face crimsoned with emotion to bid him farewell, he forgot all the comforts that awaited him at the Borderie, in the remembrance of the loyal and courageous hospitality he had received in the house he was about to leave. The tears sprang to his eyes.

A moment after young Poignot stopped his cart in the road, at the entrance of the little footpath leading to the Borderie. "Our journey is ended!" he remarked to the baron. Then he uttered a low whistle, like that which he had given a few hours before, to warn Marie-Anne of his arrival. No one appeared; he whistled again, louder this time; then with all his might still no response.
After all these years he saw her yet, cold, rigid, lifeless, in that luxurious room at the Borderie; and time, far from effacing the image of the fair girl who had won his youthful heart, made it still more radiant and endowed his lost idol with almost superhuman grace of person and of character. If fate had but given him Marie-Anne for his wife!
No, I shall not do that; but I might, perhaps, tell your husband what happened at the Borderie." Blanche shuddered. No threat was capable of moving her like that. "You shall accompany us, aunt," said she; "I promise it." Then she added, gently: "But it is unnecessary to threaten me. You have been cruel, aunt, and at the same time, unjust.
"Three; one opening into the garden, another into the orchard, another communicating with the stables. The staircase leading to the floor above is in the middle room."
