The Tsar, informed of her intended fate, had sent a pardon by telegraph. After that she disappeared. She was supposed to have gone on some tour across Europe, as was her habit, for she spoke all the languages, like a true Bohemian. Now she had reappeared in all her joyous glory at Krestowsky. It was certain, however, that she had not forgotten her brother.

She saw at once that he swam like a porpoise, keeping beneath and showing his head from time to time, breathing, then diving below the surface again. He reached Krestowsky Ostrow in a clump of reeds. Then he disappeared. Below him, surrounded by trees, could be seen the red tiles of the villa which sheltered Boris and Michael.

The way they are going about it isn't like one of their young men that the Central Committee arms with a bomb and who is sacrificed in advance." "Where are the tracks that you have traced?" "Right up to the little Krestowsky Villa." Koupriane bounded from his chair. "Occupied by Boris. Parbleu! Now we have them. I see it all now. Boris, another cracked brain! And he is engaged.

The chase commenced in the rosy dawn of the isles. Already blood-like tints were on the horizon. Some of the police cried that they had the trail. They ran under the trees, because it was almost certain she had taken the narrow path leading to the bridge that joins Krestowsky to Kameny-Ostrow.

He replied simply: "No, mademoiselle, it was the same man." And Koupriane felt compelled to add: "Anyway, we have found the proof of Michael Nikolaievitch's relations with the revolutionaries." "Where have you found that?" questioned the young girl, turning toward the Chief of Police a face ravished with anguish. "At Krestowsky, mademoiselle."

When Rouletabille entered the Krestowsky Gardens, Annouchka had commenced her number, which ended with a tremendous "Roussalka."

"And you threw yourself into the river, my dear angel. You swim like a little god." "And I landed where the other landed. Yes, there were the reeds all freshly broken. And I slipped in among the bushes." "Where to?" "Up to the Villa Krestowsky, madame where they both live." "Ah, it was from there someone came?" There was a silence between them. She questioned: "Boris?"

I promise you not to say anything more disagreeable to the prince than as regards his little friend the Bohemian Katharina, whom he has treated so generously just now, doubtless because Boris Mourazoff pays her too little for the errands she runs each morning to the villa of Krestowsky Ostrow." At these words the Prince and Annouchka both changed countenance. Their anger rose.

"You are not curious, little domovoi doukh! A friend of the house, certainly, and who enters the house as he wishes, by night, because someone opens the window for him. And who comes from the Krestowsky Villa! Boris or Michael! Ah, poor miserable Matrena! Why don't they kill poor Matrena? Their general! Their general! And they are soldiers soldiers who come at night to kill their general.

He emerged from his cloud of smoke at dinner-time. At ten that evening he stepped out of his carriage before the Krestowsky. The establishment of Krestowsky, which looms among the Isles much as the Aquarium does, is neither a theater, nor a music-hall, nor a cafe-concert, nor a restaurant, nor a public garden; it is all of these and some other things besides.
