"All the windows of the house were broken. In all, we escaped with the fright and a visit from the glazier, my little friend, but I certainly believed that all was over." "And Mademoiselle Natacha?" inquired Rouletabille.
When Father Fouze, the glazier, came to us with this news, one morning, I almost fell, through faintness, for I thought: "Now they will take all, even fathers of families. I am lost!" Monsieur Goulden poured some water on my neck; my arms hung useless by my side; I was pale as a corpse.
