And so the trio the last of the procession, if we except Fate went closer to the cottage whence so cheerfully gleamed the light. "Who is there? What do you want?" It was the snarling voice of Jean Forette, late chauffeur for the Carwells, challenging. "Who is it?" he cried. The three figures came on.
We must end this mystery!" They left LeGrand Blossom and again entered the car. Jean Forette was driving, and the detective again noticed the strange and sudden change in his manner.

The throng had increased, and she caught sight, among the press, of Jean Forette, their chauffeur. "Have you seen my father since he arrived, Jean?" asked Viola. "Oh, he is somewhere about, I suppose," was the answer, and it was given in such a surly tone with such a churlish manner that Viola flushed with anger and bit her lips to keep back a sharp retort.

"Then the marriage was legal, after all?" the woman asked.
