"Wait!" and, speaking to Tignol in a low tone, M. Paul gave him quick instructions, whereupon the old man hurried across the street and pulled the bell at the doorway indicated.
"Is he going to see what it was?" asked the spinster eagerly.
"Yes, he is going to see what it was," and at that moment the door swung open and Papa Tignol disappeared within.
"Did you happen to see the person who threw this thing?" continued M. Paul gently.
"No, but I saw his arm."
Coquenil gave a start of satisfaction. "His arm? Then a man threw it?"
"Oh, yes, I saw his black coat sleeve and his white cuff quite plainly."
"But not his face?"
"No, only the arm."
