He was an officer and a gentleman, and so he showed his hand. Then he wanted information and perhaps much more, though what that would be he could not yet tell. M. Barre had smoked cigarettes freely during Shorland's narrative. At the end he said with peculiar emphasis: "Your friend's wife was surely a Frenchwoman?" "Yes." "Was her name Laroche?" "Yes, that was it.
The great, red, double-eagle, so long familiar to him as dangling from the documents that were forever in the hands of his father: where was it? Besides, the whole thing was unofficial. There was neither heading nor arms. It was a hoax a trick possibly of Laroche, or Ostrovsky, or some other of that formal, jealous lot.
Some other punishment!" "No other," said Toussaint. "This is the fit punishment mean as your design ridiculous as your attempt. Are the French Commissaries in waiting, Laroche? Let them be announced." The prisoners were removed by one door, while the imposing party from France entered by the other.
For it was on an evening in the latter half of November that he and Laroche entered Ivan's rooms at the customary hour, but with new light in their eyes.
Somehow, as Laroche quietly explained this fact, and Ivan, opening his familiar book, discovered for the first time certain blue-pencillings, made therein by Rubinstein during the rehearsals, to indicate those passages where some body of instruments were weak, or needed special watching, his heart began to throb, unsteadily.
It was not feasible to dress and pursue, even had it been wise. And Lanyard was vexed. Dupont, he felt, was hardly playing fair, after giving one every reason to believe he meant to go through to Paris. And what under heaven did the brute think to accomplish in Laroche?

Miss Laroche, on her side, was resolved to be true to the promise that she had given.
"Which one shall we kill?" asked Laroche. "Michaud," said Courtecuisse. "Vaudoyer is right, he's perfectly right. You'll see that when a keeper is sent to the shades there won't be one of them willing to stay even in broad daylight to watch us. Now they're there night and day, demons!"
I counted few friends in this house, except Laroche, Coquelin, and Mounet-Sully the first two my friends of the Conservatoire and the latter of the Odeon.
The moment I heard this news the dread crossed my mind that Stanwick had found his way to Miss Laroche. In an hour more I was traveling to Nettlegrove Hall. I arrived late in the evening, and found Miss Laroche's aunt in great alarm about her niece's safety. I volunteered to go at once, and assist in taking care of her. A servant accompanied me to show me the place of meeting.
