Also, he wanted to tell her of the danger in which Carnac was how Luzanne had come, and was hidden away in the outskirts of the city, waiting for the moment when the man who rejected her should be sacrificed. Now that Barouche was face to face with Alma Grier, however, he felt the appalling nature of his task.
"I will give it to Carnac, and he can do what he likes with it." By now the tears were streaming down the face of Luzanne Larue, and hard as it was for Junia, she tried to comfort her, for the girl should be got away at once, and only friendliness could achieve that. She would see Denzil he was near by, waiting. There would be a train in two hours for New York and the girl must take it-she must.
That Luzanne was French helped greatly, for it would be used by Carnac's foes as an insult to French Canada, and his pulses throbbed as he thought of the possible turmoil in the constituency. Fortunately the girl was handsome, had ability, and spoke English with a French accent, and she was powerful for his purposes.
If the man I married did not love me, I'd use the law to be free. What's the good of trying to destroy a husband who doesn't love you, who never loved you never." "You don't know that," retorted Luzanne sharply. "Yes, I do. He never loved you. He never lived with you for a single day. That's in the power of a doctor to prove.
Never had feeling run higher, never had racial lines been so cut across. Barode Barouche fought with vigour, but from the going of Luzanne Larue, there passed from him the confidence he had felt since the first day of Carnac's candidature.
His mother replied sorrowfully: "Junia's been away since last fall. Her aunt in the West was taken ill, and she's been with her ever since. Tell me, dearest, is everything all right now? Are you free to do what you want?" He shook his head morosely. "No, everything's all wrong. I blundered, and I'm paying the price." "You didn't find Luzanne Larue?" "Yes, I found her, but it was no good.

"No, I did not; you are not a bad man. He would have spoiled my life. He made it clear I could have all the luxuries money could buy all except marriage!" She shrugged her shoulders. Carnac was of an impressionable nature, but brought to face the possibility of marriage with Luzanne, he shrank. If ever he married it would be a girl like Junia Shale, beautiful, modest, clever and well educated.
"I'm not engaged to Carnac Grier, and he has never asked me to marry him but what business is it of yours, ma'm'selle?" "Come and I'll tell you." Luzanne moved towards the door. They were speechless till they reached Luzanne's lodgings. "This is the house of Monsieur Marmette, an agent of Monsieur Barouche," said Junia. "I know it." "You'll know it better soon.
I'll find a Judge in the village. Come now, hands up, those that will do it." With a loud laugh Larue held up his hand, Carnac, who was half-drunk, did the same, and after a little hesitation Luzanne also. "Good a gay little comedy, that's what it is.
