He thought it not so easy of execution. He allowed the possibility of escaping thus: `But if she be recognised, ' continued he, `if she be stopped in the attempt, all hope will be over with her, perhaps for ever. Besides, you would be obliged to quit Paris instantly, for you could never evade the search that would be made for you.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
