two
o'clock
I have every reason to believe , first , that Sauverand was informed this morning -- in what way remains to be seen -- of the revelations made last night by Mme. Fauville relating to old Langernault ; and , secondly , that he has been prowling around and inside old Langernault 's property to-day for reasons that also remain to be seen . And I presume that he came by train and that he will go back by train . '' Perenna 's supposition was confirmed without delay . He was told at the railway station that a gentleman and a lady had arrived from Paris at two o'clock , that they had hired a trap at the hotel next door , and that , having finished their business , they had gone back a few minutes ago , by the 7:40 express . The description of the lady and gentleman corresponded exactly with that of Florence and Sauverand . `` Off we go ! '' said Perenna , after consulting the timetable .
