Ah
!
it
is
just
as
well
for
you
.
I
held
out
till
the
third
bucket
.
Well
,
it
is
an
old
story
,
and
they
are
all
in
their
graves
now
,
anyhow
,
so
what
does
it
matter
how
they
got
there
?
I
suppose
that
you
have
no
idea
what
it
was
that
you
have
seen
?
"
"
The
torture
of
some
criminal
.
She
must
have
been
a
terrible
malefactor
indeed
if
her
crimes
are
in
proportion
to
her
penalty
.
"
"
Well
,
we
have
that
small
consolation
,
"
said
Dacre
,
wrapping
his
dressing
-
gown
round
him
and
crouching
closer
to
the
fire
.
"
They
WERE
in
proportion
to
her
penalty
.
That
is
to
say
,
if
I
am
correct
in
the
lady
’
s
identity
.
"
"
How
could
you
possibly
know
her
identity
?
"
For
answer
Dacre
took
down
an
old
vellum
-
covered
volume
from
the
shelf
.
"
Just
listen
to
this
,
"
said
he
;
"
it
is
in
the
French
of
the
seventeenth
century
,
but
I
will
give
a
rough
translation
as
I
go
.
You
will
judge
for
yourself
whether
I
have
solved
the
riddle
or
not
.

The
prisoner
was
brought
before
the
Grand
Chambers
and
Tournelles
of
Parliament
,
sitting
as
a
court
of
justice
,
charged
with
the
murder
of
Master
Dreux
d
’
Aubray
,
her
father
,
and
of
her
two
brothers
,
MM
.
d
’
Aubray
,
one
being
civil
lieutenant
,
and
the
other
a
counsellor
of
Parliament
.
In
person
it
seemed
hard
to
believe
that
she
had
really
done
such
wicked
deeds
,
for
she
was
of
a
mild
appearance
,
and
of
short
stature
,
with
a
fair
skin
and
blue
eyes
.
Yet
the
Court
,
having
found
her
guilty
,
condemned
her
to
the
ordinary
and
to
the
extraordinary
question
in
order
that
she
might
be
forced
to
name
her
accomplices
,
after
which
she
should
be
carried
in
a
cart
to
the
Place
de
Greve
,
there
to
have
her
head
cut
off
,
her
body
being
afterwards
burned
and
her
ashes
scattered
to
the
winds
.

It
is
interesting
,
"
said
I
,
"
but
not
convincing
.
How
do
you
prove
the
two
women
to
be
the
same
?
"
"
I
am
coming
to
that
.
The
narrative
goes
on
to
tell
of
the
woman
’
s
behaviour
when
questioned
.
’
When
the
executioner
approached
her
she
recognized
him
by
the
cords
which
he
held
in
his
hands
,
and
she
at
once
held
out
her
own
hands
to
him
,
looking
at
him
from
head
to
foot
without
uttering
a
word
.
’
How
’
s
that
?
