"He saw me there."
"Many times?"
"At least twice, monsieur the abbé."
"Did he avoid you?"
"I avoided him. I took pains to keep him from knowing how I watched him."
"You say he flaunted. When he left Paris for Mittau was the fact generally reported?"
"No, monsieur."
"You learned it yourself?"
"Yes, monsieur."
"But he must have known you would pursue him."
