"Yes; and, although he pretends to be alone to-night, he has other men with him, hideous, ruffianly looking creatures, whom I saw him admit after the servants had gone.
Half an hour later they parted at the Hanover Gate. As he turned his steps homeward, the cowardly anonymous letter lay heavily on his mind. Who could have written it, and what did it contain? He more than suspected that it referred to his youthful marriage with Diane Merode. When he reached the studio he found on his desk a letter bearing a French stamp. He opened it curiously.
'So, Monsieur Eugène, began Madame le Blanc, 'this ridiculous wooing of which, as you know, I never heartily approved is at an end.
