"As the people left, the Baron said to Garoche and Falise: 'A moment with me before you go. The woman started, for she thought of one thing, and Garoche started, for he thought of another the siege of Beaugard and the killing of young Marmette. But they followed the Baron to his chamber. Coming in, he shut the door on them. Then he turned to Garoche.
"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.
Marmette, the subagent, would know of the incident between Junia and Luzanne; and he feared. Barouche might start for the station, overtake Luzanne and prevent her leaving. He drew close and kept his ears open. He was fortunate, he heard voices; Marmette was explaining to Barouche that Junia and Luzanne had gone to the station, as "Ma'm'selle" was bound for New York.
Then you know what happened to the young Marmette? Garoche trembled a little, but drew himself up and said: 'M'sieu' le Baron, he tried to kill the Intendant there was no other way. 'What part played you in that, Garoche? Some trembled, for they knew the truth, and they feared the mad will of the Baron. 'I ordered the firing-party, M'sieu' le Baron, he answered.
"The Baron's eyes got fierce and his face hardened, but he stooped and drew the ears of the hound through his hand softly. 'Marmette was my cousin's son, and had lived with me, he said. 'A brave lad, and he had a nice hatred of vileness else he had not died. A strange smile played on his lips for a moment, then he looked at Falise steadily. Who can tell what was working in his mind!

Denzil saw Barode Barouche leave the house with grim concern and talking hard to Paul Marmette. He knew the way they would go, so he fell behind a tree, and saw them start for the place where they could order a cab. Then he followed them. Looking at his watch he saw that, if they got a cab, they would get to the station before the train started, and he wondered how he could retard Barouche.
