She fired on you? 'No, said Ravengar; 'I believe she would have done. It was Tudor who drew a revolver and fired. Had I had my own But I had laid it on a table, like a fool, and it disappeared. 'Is not this it? asked Hugo, producing Camilla's weapon. Ravengar nodded, amazed. 'I thought so, Hugo said, and returned it to his pocket. 'Were you wounded? 'It was nothing. A scratch on the wrist.
The following morning I was, perhaps, inclined to smile a little at our terror of Ravengar; but, peeping out of the window early, I saw Ravengar himself standing on the pavement in the Rue St. Augustin. I told Camilla I was going out, and that she must not leave that room, nor admit anyone into it, until I returned.
He wished ardently to know whether Ravengar and Tudor, or either of them, had been wounded, and if so, by whose revolver; for he could not be certain that it was Camilla who had fired. An examination of the revolver which he and she had passed from hand to hand had shown two chambers undischarged.
