ABSTRACT
IT may be readily surmised that the Princesse Marchesi and the Comtesse de Fontainebleau were not in good heart to engage in further intrigue for a considerable period after they had again recovered the use of their tongues and their crippled limbs. Lisette too, had fled from the Palace to join her precious husband, and that rascal himself was, for once, frightened into submission. When Folliet had thoroughly investigated the circumstances that led to the disastrous attack upon Vansittart, he gave Monsieur and Madame le Grand one day’s notice to leave France for ever. They promptly availed themselves of the opportunity to seek redemption and an honest living in a new world.
