The opening
CHAPTER I.
THE PAST.
When she perceived a group of men leaning against the parapet and looking down into the street below, Hippolyte stopped and exclaimed: “What has happened?”
With a slight gesture, betraying fear, she placed her hand involuntarily on George’s arm as if to restrain him.
After watching the men a moment George said: “Someone must have leaped from off the terrace.” Then he added: “Shall we turn back?”
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
