"Well, my dear" the Rector's voice recalled Diana's wandering thoughts "Joan and I must be getting back to our hotel, if we are to be dressed in time for the dinner Miss de Gervais is giving in your honour to-night." Diana glanced at the clock and nodded. "Indeed you must, Pobs darling. And I will send away these other good people too.
"III. And the people were silent, looking at their faces, which appeared as the faces of angels. "IV. But Gervais, taking the hand of Protais, cried, looking to heaven, and filled with the Holy Ghost: "V. Oh, my brother! I see the Son of man smiling upon us; let me die first. "VI. For if I see thy blood, I fear I shall shed tears unworthy of the Lord our God.
M. le Comte stepped aside to show us Grammont leaning against the wall. "Ah!" cried Vigo, triumphantly. He and two of the men rushed at Gervais. "You would not take me so easily but for a cursed knife in my back," Grammont muttered thickly. "For the love of Heaven, Vigo, draw it out." With amazement Vigo perceived the knife. "Who did it?" "You, Félix? In the back?"
She stretched out her hand, which immediately disappeared within Jerry's big, boyish fist. "Good luck, old boy!" Max returned at about ten o'clock, and Diana proceeded to offer polite inquiries about Miss de Gervais' welfare. She wondered if he would remember how near they had been to each other just for an instant before the news of the attempt upon Adrienne's life had reached them.
One is the cause of the cross, the cause of men willing to die for brotherhood; the other is the cause of those who are willing to kill to conquer. And these two monuments, side by side on the Baupaume Road, stand out as one of the Silhouettes of Sacrilege. Then there is St. Gervais.
And yet, Diana reflected, both her husband and Miss de Gervais knew quite well who the assailant was! "The taller of the two," Adrienne had said through the telephone. Why, then, with that clue in her hands, did she refuse to prosecute? Suddenly, into Diana's mind flashed an answer to the question to the multitude of questions which had perplexed, her for so long.
M. Gervais states that the Didelphis crancrivora is found there. It is certain that the West Indies possess some mammifers peculiar to themselves. When America, and especially North America, possessed its elephants, mastodons, horse, and hollow-horned ruminants, it was much more closely related in its zoological characters to the temperate parts of Europe and Asia than it now is.
She had made her appeal, risked everything on his love for her and lost. Adrienne de Gervais was stronger than she! Hereafter, she supposed, they would live as so many other husbands and wives lived outwardly good friends, but actually with all the beautiful links of love and understanding shattered and broken.
"But you see the difficulty? I was going to ask Errington to give me a few days' leave, and I don't like to bother him now that he has all this worry about Miss de Gervais on his hands." Diana flushed hotly at Jerry's tacit acceptance of the fact that Adrienne's affairs were naturally of so much moment to her husband. It was another pin-prick in the wound that had been festering for so long.
"No," said I, seeing that I had been fooled and had had all my terrors for naught, and feeling much chagrined thereat. "How was I to know it was a lie? I know naught about Paris. I came up but yesterday from St. Quentin." "St. Quentin!" came a cry from the henchman. With a fierce "Be quiet, fool!" Gervais turned to me and demanded my name. "Félix Broux." "Who sent you here?" "Monsieur, no one."
