I couldn't sleep and I thought I would come and test the truth of the old tale about the footprints. I felt somehow that I had lacked in imagination never to have done it before. Certainly you girls have no lack of it.

I was as certain a moment ago that you were the murderous Jesuit as I am now that you are Philippe d'Ochtè. But tell me: how did you get behind the altar without our seeing you; and where did you get that cloak? It is about the most picturesque thing I ever saw.

There is an entrance to the old chateau from behind the altar; and as for my cloak it is an ordinary _gens d'arme_ cape. It does look rather monkish. If you admire it, I will present it to you. It will make good studio property.
