She looked at the Cure, where he knelt praying, and wondered how much of this tragedy the anxious priest would lay at his own door. "It is no tragedy, dear Cure" Valmond said suddenly, as if following her thoughts. "My son, it is all tragedy until you have shown me your heart, that I may send you forth in peace." He had forgotten Madame Chalice's presence, and she sat very still.
As Valmond looked, a soft light passed across his face, relieving its theatrical firmness, the half-contemptuous curl of his lip. He knew well enough that this event would make or unmake him in Pontiac. He became also aware that a carriage had driven up among the villagers, and had stopped; and though he did not look directly, he felt that it was Madame Chalice.
He looked at her closely, and not unkindly. For a moment the thought possessed him that evil and ill had come to her. But he put it away from him, for there was that in her eyes which gave his quick suspicions the lie. He guessed now that the girl loved Valmond, and he left her with that thought.

"Ah, Napoleon yes, Napoleon?" she said, turning to Valmond, with a look half of interest, half of incredulity. " For Napoleon is, through him, a revelation," the avocat went on. "He fills in the vague spaces, clears up mysteries of incident, and gives, instead, mystery of character."
You will see in the list in the Morning Post to-morrow what a number of the Nazeby set there are here. Lord Valmond is here, but he did not see me until we were at dinner. I went in with Mr. Hodgkinson, who is contesting this Division; he is quite young and wears an eyeglass, which he keeps dropping.
Valmond! O Valmond!" His duty to the girl was done; she was safe; now he must follow that figure to where the smoke of the campfires came curling up by Dalgrothe Mountain. There were rumours of trouble; he must again be minister, counsellor, friend, to his master. A half hour later he was climbing the hill where he had seen the white horse and its rider.
He was very pale; there was a menacing fire in his eyes. The young Seigneur was ready for battle also. "I am occupied, monsieur," said Valmond meaningly. "I have come to warn you " "The old song; I am occupied, monsieur." "Charlatan!" said De la Riviere, and took a step angrily towards him, for he was losing command of himself.
Like lightning the dwarf shot in between, and a sword flashed up at De la Riviere's breast. "I saved your father's life, but I will take yours, if you step farther, dear Seigneur," he said coolly. Valmond had not stirred, but his face was pale again. "That will do, Parpon," he said quietly. "Monsieur had better go," he added to De la Riviere, "or even his beloved law may not save him!"
There were depths here, and she knew it. "Even the pantaloon may have a soul," she said; "or a king may have a heart." In front of the Louis Quinze, Valmond waved his hand for a halt, and the ancient drummer wheeled and faced him, fronting the crowd. Valmond was pale, and his eyes burned like restless ghosts.
