CHAPTER VI.
AGAIN THE CHAROLAIS Hardly had the door closed behind the millionaire when the head of M.
Charolais appeared at one of the windows opening on to the terrace.

He looked round the empty hall, whistled softly, and stepped inside.
Inside of ten seconds his three sons came in through the windows, and with them came Jean, the millionaire's chauffeur.
"Take the door into the outer hall, Jean," said M.Charolais, in a low voice.

"Bernard, take that door into the drawing-room.

Pierre and Louis, help me go through the drawers.

The whole family is going to Paris, and if we're not quick we shan't get the cars." "That comes of this silly fondness for warning people of a coup," growled Jean, as he hurried to the door of the outer hall.
