After a minute the traveler murmured in a low voice, "They must have gone on, and so will I," and he rode forward. "To-morrow we will change our route," thought Remy. And he rejoined Diana, who was waiting impatiently for him. "Well," said she softly, "are we followed?" "There is no one, I was wrong; you may sleep in perfect safety, madame." "I am not sleepy, Remy."
She saluted him and passed on, but behind her came a figure which, although closely veiled, made his heart beat fast. Remy looked at him, and Bussy knew now why he had brought him to this church. Bussy followed the lady, and Remy followed him. Gertrude had walked on before, until she came to an alley closed by a door. She opened it, and let her mistress pass.
Bussy uttered a cry of joy, and threw away his broken sword: at the same moment Monsoreau fired at Remy, and the ball entered his brain. This time he fell to rise no more. Bussy uttered a cry. His strength seemed to return to him, and he whirled round his sword in a circle, cutting through a wrist at his right hand, and laying open a cheek at his left.
The prince knows, through Badinot, that your man of straw, Petit Jean, was only a name borrowed by you for the purpose of making the usurious loans to the Viscount de Saint Remy. The sums which Saint Remy repaid you were loaned to him by a great lady; probably another restitution awaits you: but it stands adjourned. Doubtless because it is a more delicate affair." "Chained, chained here!"
"In truth," answered Saint Remy, "I do not know why I have yielded to your desire; nothing is more heart-rending than the aspect of these wards filled with sick. Since my entrance here my feelings quite overcome me."
Yet he had little doubt but that the pursuing machine had risen from the aerodrome of Count Remy de Morbihan at St.-Germain-en-Laye; that it was nothing less, in fact, than De Morbihan's Valkyr, reputed the fastest monoplane in Europe and winner of a dozen International events; and that it was guided, if not by De Morbihan himself, by one of the creatures of the Pack quite possibly, even more probably, by Ekstrom!
"Not even at her window!" "We must put an end to that. Do you think she has a lover?" "I have never seen any one enter her house, except the Remy of whom I spoke to you." "Take the house opposite." "It may not be to let." "Bah! offer double the rent!" "But if she sees me there, she will disappear as before." "You shall see her this evening." "Yes! Be under her balcony at eight o'clock."
"Yes, father, I swear it," answered Florestan, trying in vain to release himself from the hold. "In the name of the law open!" repeated the voice. "What do you want?" demanded the count. "I am an officer of police; I come to make a search on account of a robbery of diamonds, of which M. de Saint Remy is accused. M. Baudoin, jeweler, has the proofs.
I am a worthless offering, for in renouncing the world I sacrifice nothing, neither desires nor hopes; but such as I am I offer myself to my God, and he will accept me he who has made me suffer so much, and yet kept me from sinking under it." Remy, who had heard this, rose slowly, and said, "You abandon me?" "For God," said Diana, raising her thin white hand to heaven.
If we leave his punishment to God, and do not act ourselves, it was not worth while living so unhappily until now." At this moment a blast of north wind, cold and biting, swept across the plain. "You shiver, madame," said the other traveler; "take your cloak." "No, thank you, Remy; I no longer feel pain of body or mind." Remy rode on silently, only now and then stopping and looking back.
