CHAPTER V. THE LORD OF GAVRILLAC
For the second time that day Andre-Louis set out for the chateau, walking briskly, and heeding not at all the curious eyes that followed him through the village, and the whisperings that marked his passage through the people, all agog by now with that day's event in which he had been an actor.
He was ushered by Benoit, the elderly body-servant, rather grandiloquently called the seneschal, into the ground-floor room known traditionally as the library. It still contained several shelves of neglected volumes, from which it derived its title, but implements of the chase-fowling-pieces, powder-horns, hunting-bags, sheath-knives -obtruded far more prominently than those of study. The furniture was massive, of oak richly carved, and belonging to another age.
