They all said, after a while the neighbours, I mean that it could not have fallen into better hands; and, as far as the family affairs were concerned, that was true. But for Shenac herself it was not so well.
Coquenil tried to support him, but the body was too heavy for his bandaged hand, and the prisoner sank to the floor. "I I won the last trick, anyhow," the baron whispered as M. Paul bent over him. Coquenil picked up the ring that had fallen from a nerveless hand. He put it to his nose and sniffed it. "Prussic acid!" he muttered, and turned away from the last horrors.
