Then he bowed to her and walked to the door, in the wake of the sergeant of gendarmes. "Halt!" cried a voice. "Sergeant, right about ... turn!... Jerome Vignal, stay where you are!"
In answer to a question, the man said that M. Vignal had gone away that morning before anyone else was up and that he himself had harnessed the horse to the trap. "In that case," said Renine, when they had moved away, "all we have to do is to follow the tracks of the wheels." "That will be no use," said the sergeant. "They have taken the railway." "At Pompignat station, where I came from?
The motor-car drew up outside the windows. Forming a sudden resolve, he said to Natalie: "You will be good enough to hold yourself at the disposal of the authorities, madame, and to remain here, in the manor-house...."

Jerome Vignal I know him and am very fond of him is a good-looking fellow and very well off; and he has sworn to run off with Natalie de Gorne.
