She went to the door, and threw the bolt.
"I have been recognized," she said, returning to Canolles.
"By whom?"
"By a man whose name I do not know, but whose face and voice are familiar to me. It seems as if I heard his voice the evening that you, in this very room, received the order to repair at once to Mantes. It seems also as if I had seen his face at the hunting party at Chantilly, the day that I took Madame de Condé's place."
"Whom do you take the man to be?"
"An agent of Monsieur le Duc d'Épernon, and therefore an enemy."
"The devil!" exclaimed Canolles. "You say that he recognized you?"
