I am following out my instructions, but I am convinced that Citizen Latour is acting for your good." They rode on in silence again, the beating hoofs of the horses the only sound in the night. The dawn had not come when Mercier drew rein where two roads forked. "We will go quietly, monsieur, in case there is danger. There is a house here we must visit, a wayside inn."
Was it only her loneliness and the shadows creeping into the room which brought doubts crowding into her mind? This friend of Lucien's, this Monsieur Mercier, what real guarantee had she of his honesty? He had brought her the gold star. It seemed a sufficient answer, but doubts are subtle and have many arguments. Why should she believe his story rather than Barrington's?
Mercier and others have pointed out that, as most skilled labor, so school work and modern activities in civilized life generally lay premature and disproportionate strains upon those kinds of movement requiring exactness.

I can't live without Leonard Mercier, nor he without me.
