Help me to save the father of my wife!—See! This key opens yonder door; to-night, at any moment, you may hear three knocks.—That signal will be given by a man who will conduct you safely out of France.
GOUROC.
A man that you can trust?
PAUL.
To the death.—I saved his life.
GOUROC.
But suppose the Duke is called before the signal comes!—I must go and find some man to take his place.
GOUROC starts to go. PAUL'S face lights with a sudden resolution.
PAUL.
Stop! The man is found.
