At last he reached the entrance to the prison.

Lebat jumped out and rang at the bell.
"What is it, citizen ?" the guard said looking through a grille in the gate.
"I am Citizen Lebat of the Committee of Public Safety, and I have an order here, signed by Citizen Robespierre, for the release of the female prisoner known as Marie Caux." "All right, citizen!" the man said, opening the gate.

"It is late for a discharge; but I don't suppose the prisoner will grumble at that." Ten minutes later the gate opened again and Lebat came out with a cloaked female figure.

She hesitated on the top step, and then refusing to touch the hand Lebat held out to assist her, stepped down and entered the coach.
"Rue Fosseuse No.

18," Lebat said as he followed her.
Harry drove on, and was soon in the Rue Montagnard.
