"It's enough," she said. "The secret of the diamonds depends on me and on me only. So you're going to untie the bonds of my friends and set the child free."
"In return for what?"
"In return for that I will give you the envelope of the Marquis de Beaugreval."
He looked at her.
"Hang it, it's an attractive offer. Then you'd give up the diamonds?"
"Yes."
"Yourself and in the name of your friends?"
"Yes."
"Give me the envelope."
"Cut the ropes."
