The men raised their bonnets-rouges, the woman bowed low, and the Seigneur entered the post-office door. From the shadows of the office Rosalie had watched the little group before the door of the tailor-shop. She saw the Seigneur coming across the street. Suddenly she flushed deeply, for there came to her mind the song the quack-doctor sang: "Voila, the day has come When Rosette leaves her home!
Over in the town her brother faced a ruined life, and the girl beside him a dark humiliation and a shame which would poison her life hereafter, unless his look turned to the little house where the quack-doctor lived. He loosed her hands. "Now for Caliban," he said. "I shall be Ariel and follow you in my heart," she said.
"I heard a man say once that you were 'as deep as the sea. He did not mean it kindly, but I do. You are in trouble, and I want to share it if I can. Where were you going when you came across me here?" "To see old Busby, the quack-doctor up there," he answered, nodding toward a shrubbed and wooded hillock behind them. "Old Busby!" she rejoined, in amazement.
Reaching them as they mounted, he fired, and brought down his man a shivering quack-doctor, who, like his leader, had seen a sight in the tailor-shop that struck terror to his soul.

No tout for lotteries swindled the simple. No juggler mystified the children. No cheap-jack cheated the innocent maidens. No quack-doctor sold his nasty pills. No melancholy bear made his feeble attempt to dance. For the social joys of private life the laws were stricter still.
The king sat under a canopy of state; about him were clustered a large body of the clergy in full canonicals. Conspicuous, both for location and personal outfit, stood Marinel, a hermit of the quack-doctor species, to introduce the sick. All abroad over the spacious floor, and clear down to the doors, in a thick jumble, lay or sat the scrofulous, under a strong light.
The glare from the lights fell on her face as she stood by her father's chair, looking curiously at the quack-doctor who, having sold many bottles of his medicines, noy picked up a guitar and began singing an old dialect chanson of Saintonge: "Voici, the day has come When Rosette leaves her home! With fear she walks in the sun, For Raoul is ninety year, And she not twenty-one.
Then came the Seigneur's voice saying that Jo was gone, and that all the robbers had escaped, save the two disposed of by Charley and Jo. The Cure turned to the bed once more. "What did he say about Jo?" Charley asked. "He is dead, my son, and the quack-doctor also. The others have escaped." Charley turned his face away. "Au revoir, Jo," he said into the great distance.
