Arnauld de l'Ariége hesitated.
"What do you want to do?" he asked.
"I will take this letter."
"You yourself?"
"I myself."
"But there is danger."
She raised her eyes, and answered,—
"Did I make that objection to you when you left me the day before yesterday?"
He kissed her with tears in his eyes, and answered, "Go."
But the police of the coup d'état were suspicious, many women were searched while going through the streets; this letter might be found on Madame Arnauld. Where could this letter be hidden?
