Chapter LXIX
THE NIGHT. That day, at four o’clock, a man on horseback stopped in the outskirts of the park, just behind the baths of Apollo, where M. de Rohan used to wait. He got off, and looked at the places where the grass had been trodden down. “Here are the traces,” thought he; “it is as I supposed. M. de Charny has returned for a fortnight, and this is where he enters the park.”
