Sophie
,
after
months
in
the
congestion
of
London
,
was
eager
for
the
smells
of
nature
and
to
start
her
vacation
right
away
.
It
was
still
early
evening
,
and
she
decided
to
leave
immediately
and
surprise
him
.
Borrowing
a
friend
s
car
,
Sophie
drove
north
,
winding
into
the
deserted
moon
-
swept
hills
near
Creully
.
She
arrived
just
after
ten
o
clock
,
turning
down
the
long
private
driveway
toward
her
grandfather
s
retreat
.
The
access
road
was
over
a
mile
long
,
and
she
was
halfway
down
it
before
she
could
start
to
see
the
house
through
the
trees
a
mammoth
,
old
stone
château
nestled
in
the
woods
on
the
side
of
a
hill
.
Sophie
had
half
expected
to
find
her
grandfather
asleep
at
this
hour
and
was
excited
to
see
the
house
twinkling
with
lights
.
Her
delight
turned
to
surprise
,
however
,
when
she
arrived
to
find
the
driveway
filled
with
parked
cars
Mercedeses
,
BMWs
,
Audis
,
and
a
Rolls
-
Royce
.
Sophie
stared
a
moment
and
then
burst
out
laughing
.
My
grand
-
père
,
the
famous
recluse
!
Jacques
Saunière
,
it
seemed
,
was
far
less
reclusive
than
he
liked
to
pretend
.
Clearly
he
was
hosting
a
party
while
Sophie
was
away
at
school
,
and
from
the
looks
of
the
automobiles
,
some
of
Paris
s
most
influential
people
were
in
attendance
.

Eager
to
surprise
him
,
she
hurried
to
the
front
door
.
When
she
got
there
,
though
,
she
found
it
locked
.
She
knocked
.
Nobody
answered
.
Puzzled
,
she
walked
around
and
tried
the
back
door
.
It
too
was
locked
.
No
answer
.
Confused
,
she
stood
a
moment
and
listened
.
The
only
sound
she
heard
was
the
cool
Normandy
air
letting
out
a
low
moan
as
it
swirled
through
the
valley
.
No
music
.
No
voices
.
Nothing
.
In
the
silence
of
the
woods
,
Sophie
hurried
to
the
side
of
the
house
and
clambered
up
on
a
woodpile
,
pressing
her
face
to
the
living
room
window
.
What
she
saw
inside
made
no
sense
at
all
.
«
Nobody
s
here
!
»
The
entire
first
floor
looked
deserted
.

Where
are
all
the
people
?
Heart
racing
,
Sophie
ran
to
the
woodshed
and
got
the
spare
key
her
grandfather
kept
hidden
under
the
kindling
box
.
She
ran
to
the
front
door
and
let
herself
in
.
As
she
stepped
into
the
deserted
foyer
,
the
control
panel
for
the
security
system
started
blinking
red
a
warning
that
the
entrant
had
ten
seconds
to
type
the
proper
code
before
the
security
alarms
went
off
.
He
has
the
alarm
on
during
a
party
?
