 They had started again exactly at eleven. Betty
came to him in the librarya few minutes before nine.
She should be in Paris tomorrowmorning, England
tomorrow night.
The road by which we have come is the better one,
she continued.
If shecould get to England they couldnt bring her
back, could they? Youll be leaving it for good very soon, Betty, he said
significantly.
A couple of sergents - de - ville stood in front
ofthe door. Hanaud went over to the cabinet and, using his skeleton keys,
againopened its doors.
He has got to go back to Paris andsay: You see,
they sent from Dijon for me, and five minutes! He laid the arrow down upon the
table, and openedhis green file.
She would have fallen had not Jimcaught her in his
arms.
There, since you are not blind, you will see. Jim
placed her in a chair and dropped on his knees beside her.
I do not wish to interfere, but Ishould be glad to
have a copy of the medical report.
A couple of sergents - de - ville stood in front
ofthe door.
And whilst he spoke he cursed himself for
thebanality of his words. If shecould get to England they couldnt bring her back,
could they? I shall go to the Prefecture, said Hanaud. Of course its pleading
guilty, he said slowly.
I cant imagine why you had us followed this
morning, Monsieur Hanaud,he exclaimed with some heat.
It came by the evening post - with
others.
Shall be at Monsieur Hanauds disposal as early as
possible, theCommissaire agreed. Oh, yesterday afternoon in the hall - dont you
remember, Jim? Hanaud shivered like a man suddenly chilled. Hesat down at the bureau
and began carefully to search it. We shall do as much for him, said Betty, looking
over her shoulder fromthe steering - wheel. But he admits he put it back, said Jim
slowly. So when he turned into the street he sauntered and lookedround.
The Prefecture lay the better part of a mile away
across the city.
From the stone bridge onecan be at the Hotel de
Ville of Dijon in twenty - five minutes.
