Somebody, seeing him asleep, declared it was the face of the dead king!" I felt stung, remembering the Marquis du Plessy's words. "Oh, yes, yes," said Abbé Edgeworth. "He has visions too. Half memories, when the face of his mother comes back to him!" "What about his scars?" I asked hardily. "Scars! yes, I am told he has the proper stigmata of the dauphin.
Plessy turned upon him angrily, and the subaltern withdrew his hand. "I will read it to you," he said again to Faversham. Faversham did not protest nor did he now make any effort to move. But his face grew pale, he shivered once or twice, his eyes seemed to be taking the measure of Plessy's strength, his brain to be calculating upon his prowess; the sweat began to gather upon his forehead.
What if Bellenger's recognition, and the Marquis du Plessy's, and Marie-Therese's, went for nothing? What if some other, and not this angry man, had sent the money to America The door opened again. We turned our heads, and I grew hot at the cruelty which put that idiot before my sister's eyes.

One of Plessy's subalterns extended his hand and laid it on his sleeve.
"I can answer a question which puzzled me a little this afternoon," and he sank back again in his chair with an easy confidence and puffed the smoke of his cigarette from his mouth. Faversham was not sufficiently composed to consider the meaning of Plessy's remark. He put it aside from his thoughts as an evasion. "You were to tell me, I think, why you read the letter."
