It's because of him I've been here quiet all these weeks as Ma'm'selle Larue." "He is worse than you, mademoiselle, for he has known Carnac's family, and he has no excuse. If a man can't win his fight fairly, he oughtn't to be in public life." After a few dark moments, with a sudden burst of feeling, Luzanne said: "Well, Carnac won't be out of public life through me!"
As events proved, he had taken a course which, if he cared for his son, was for that son's well-being, and if he cared for himself most, was essential to his own well-being. Relief crossed the woman's face. "I'll tell you everything," she said. Then Luzanne told her story, avoiding the fact that Carnac had been tricked into the marriage.

"Good night and good-bye, Luzanne," he said huskily. "You can get home alone, can't you?" She laughed a little, then she said: "I guess so. I've lived in New York some years. But you and I are married, Carnac, and you ought to take me to your home." There was something devilish in her smile now. Then the whole truth burst upon Carnac. "Married married! When did I marry you? Good God!"
She was dearer to him than all the rest of the world; and he had in his hand what kept them apart a sentence of death, unless he escaped from the wanton calling him to fulfil duties into which he had been tricked. Luzanne Larue had a terrible hold over him. He gripped the letter in his pocket as a Hopi Indian does the body of a poisonous snake.

She could sue you for cruelty and desertion, and the damages would be heavy." Carnac shook his head, paid his fee and left the office. He did not go near Luzanne. After a month he went to Paris for eight months, and then back to Montreal.
About four months after the incident in the studio, a picnic was arranged for the Hudson River. Only the four went. Carnac had just sold a picture at a good price his Christian Martyr picture and he was in high spirits. They arrived at the spot arranged for the picnic in time for lunch, and Luzanne prepared it. When the lunch was ready, they sat down.
She had followed the experience on the Island by a visit to Grandois' house, carrying delicacies for the sick wife. Denzil had come with her, and was waiting in the street. She had almost ended her visit when the outer door opened and Luzanne Larue entered carrying a dish she placed on the table, eyeing Junia closely.
Carnac realized that the dinner had been ordered by the two men, and he said quietly: "Don't serve it for a half-hour yet not till I ring, please. Make it ready then. There's no hurry. It's early." The waiter bowed and withdrew with a smile, and Carnac turned to Luzanne.
