His lips were curled in contempt : there was a fret of battle in his eyes. The sound of some one breathing hard caused him at last to look up ; and he saw La Grive standing before him, her face radi- ating suppressed excitement, and a wan smile of discovery on her lips. Their eyes were set to one long, penetrative look, and then a tri- umphant glance of knowledge im- pelled the woman close to the Eng- lishman. She scanned his face closely ; and, with a shuddering sigh, she said: "Ah, monsieur! ...it is so strange!
