I went on to tell of the adventure of the Trois Lanternes, and, reflecting that he might better know just how the land lay with us, I made a clean breast of everything the fight before Ferou's house, the rescue, the rencounter in the tunnel, to-day's excursion, and all that befell in the council-room.
The eyes of the old lady glittered with new delight at every rap. "I fancy they will think twice before they batter down M. Ferou's door! Ma foi! I fancy they are a little mystified at finding you sanctuaried in this house. Was it not my Lord Mayenne's jackal, François de Brie?" "Yes; and Marc Latour." "I thought I knew them," she cried in evident pride at her sharpness.
I could not devise any way of escape for you " "There is a tunnel from Ferou's house to the Rue de la Soierie. His mother merciful angel let me through." "And you were not hurt?" "Not a scratch, ma mie." "But the wound before? Félix said " "I was put out of combat the night I got it," he explained earnestly, troubled even now because he had not obeyed her summons. "I was dizzy; I could not walk."
I knocked at Ferou's door thank the saints, it opened to me quickly! I told M. Ferou God forgive me! I had business for the duke at the other end of the tunnel. He took me through, and I came here." "But, mademoiselle, the bats!" I cried. "Yes, the bats," she returned, with a little smile. "And my hands on the ropes!"
They confronted each other in silence, till Mayenne's ever-increasing astonishment forced the cry from him: "How the devil come you here?" "Evidently by way of M. Ferou's house," M. Étienne answered.
A wounded bird falls by the rippling water, but the ripples tinkle on. "M. de Mar is not likely ever to venture here again; he had too warm a welcome last night. My faith, he may be dead by this time dead to all as well as to you. After he vanished into Ferou's house, no one seems to know what happened. Has Charles told you, my sister?" "Ferou gave him up, of course," Mme. de Mayenne answered.
