"And now," he concluded, "I have just ordered the most exact search,
so that doubtless we shall find the count's body. Five men,
detailed by me, and all the people of the house, are searching the
park. If their efforts are not crowned with success, I have here
some fishermen who will drag the river."
M. Domini held his tongue, only nodding his head from time to time,

of their best friends. Ah, sir, what charming people! excellent,
and affable, and devoted--"
And at the remembrance of all his friends' good qualities, M.
Courtois choked in his utterance.
"The Count de Tremorel," he resumed, "was a man of thirty-four
years, handsome, witty to the tips of his nails. He had sometimes,
however, periods of melancholy, during which he did not wish to see
