When evening sets in, return hither, and I will accompany you to the cottage where the family of Crugeot reside." I bade my friend farewell, and hurried after my companions. "Ask no questions," I said; "it will be the safest; but I have a clue at length to the object of which we are in search, and I trust that we may be able to carry out the Lady Anne's beneficent designs."
This looked practical in the eyes of the liberated and reinstated magistrates, and Gosson, Crugeot, and the rest were summoned at once before them.
