The baroness and Aubertin were just getting out of their carriage, when suddenly they heard shrieks of terror in the Pleasaunce.

They came with quaking hearts as fast as their old limbs would carry them.

They found Rose and Josephine crouched over the body of a man, an officer.
Rose was just tearing open his collar and jacket.

Dard and Jacintha had run from the kitchen at the screams.

Camille lay on his back, white and motionless.
The doctor was the first to come up.
