CHAPTER X.
KER KARRAJE.
The cell in which I reside is about a hundred paces from the habitation of the Count d'Artigas, which is one of the end ones of this row of the Beehive.

If I am not to share it with Thomas Roch, I presume the latter's cell is not far off, for in order that Warder Gaydon may continue to care for the ex-patient of Healthful House, their respective apartments will have to be contiguous.

However, I suppose I shall soon be enlightened on this point.
Captain Spade and Engineer Serko reside separately in proximity to D'Artigas' mansion.
Mansion?
Yes, why not dignify it with the title since this habitation has been arranged with a certain art?
Skillful hands have carved an ornamental facade in the rock.

A large door affords access to it.
Colored glass windows in wooden frames let into the limestone walls admit the light.

The interior comprises several chambers, a dining-room and a drawing-room lighted by a stained-glass window, the whole being perfectly ventilated.
