Chapter VII
“You are now three miles from Alencon, madame,” he replied. “Alencon! already!” and the lady threw herself, or, rather, she gently leaned back in the carriage, and said no more. “Alencon?” said the other woman, apparently waking up; “then you’ll see it again.” She caught sight of the captain and was silent. Merle, disappointed in his hope of seeing the face of the beautiful incognita, began to examine that of her companion.
