To make matters the worse the Duchesse had taken upon herself an attack of the gout which made her insupportable, and Pierre de Folligny, Olga's usual refuse in hours like these, had gone off for a week of shooting at the Chteau of a cousin of the Duchesse's, the Comte de Cahors.
Fool that he was! Thrice a fool for having stumbled to his fate, open-eyed. Last night she had laughed at him. To-day she mocked him still with De Folligny. His responsibilities oppressed him. He must find her and bring this mad pilgrimage to an end. To-morrow to-night, perhaps he would put her on a train which would take her back to the people of her own kind.
In spite of the damning facts she had discovered, the evidence of Madam Bordier and Monsieur Duchanel, of the peasant women at Tillires and of Pierre de Folligny, the testimony of Hermia's pale face at the shooting lodge at Alenon and of her confession which she had not thought of doubting, the belief had slowly gained force in her mind that Markham had not lied to her.
Poor child! She had suffered and he, fool that he was, had sat in his studio, the victim of his false pride, wrapped in his own ego while this vile plot was brewing. He might have done something if he had had his wits about him, instead of hiding his head like an ostrich and imagining himself unseen.

Her costume, as Monsieur de Folligny had also discovered, became her admirably, the sun and wind had tanned her face and arms to a rich warmth, and this color made the blue of her eyes the more tender. The lines he had discovered in her face were absent now, for it was the business of a Femme Orchestre to smile.
And Hermia Miss Challoner was in Switzerland." "Yes. So I hear. Very interesting. But how does that explain things to Pierre de Folligny? He met her the other day and remembered her perfectly " Markham rose and paced the floor. "Oh," he heard her saying, "she denied seeing him in France, of course, but it was quite awkward for her, I mean."
