That letter, the paper I read, M'sieur! He meant to see Josephine at once, and show it to her.

There are two of those papers: one at Thoreau's place and one in Thoreau's pocket.

If anything happens to Lang, one of them is to be delivered to the master of Adare by Thoreau.

If I had killed him it would have gone to Le M'sieur.

It is his safeguard.
