"Yes, I. Did you help to take me there?"

"Certainly not, and I should have opposed it if they had consulted

"Then I can tell nothing. Will you search a little more with me?"

"I will if you wish it; but I much fear it will be useless for

"Well, we must come again by day."

"Yes; but then we shall be seen."

"Then we must inquire."

"We will, monseigneur."

"And we shall unravel the mystery. Be sure, Remy, now there are
two of us to work."
