alone, and, if possible, to enter unnoticed by any one; my life is in
danger, and oh! if you only knew what a terrible misfortune threatens
me! Adolph Durand." He writes in pencil. His life is in danger--Ah!
How anxious I feel!

Joseph (returning)
Just as I was going down stairs, I said to myself: "Why should Pamela"

(Jules' head appears at the window.)

Pamela
Ah!

Joseph
What's the matter?

(Jules disappears.)

Pamela
I thought I saw--I mean--I thought I heard a sound overhead. Just go
into the garret. Some one perhaps has hidden there. You are not
afraid, are you?

Joseph
No.

Pamela
Very well! Go up and search! Otherwise I shall be frightened for the
whole night.
