The invitation was accepted . The company dispersed , and a few moments later Devanne and Velmont were speeding toward Dieppe in an automobile . Devanne dropped the artist in front of the Casino , and proceeded to the railway station . At twelve o'clock his friends alighted from the train . A half hour later the automobile was at the entrance to the castle . At one o'clock , after a light supper , they retired . The lights were extinguished , and the castle was enveloped in the darkness and silence of the night .
