It could not be aught to Carnac's discredit, or Junia would not have tried to get the danger out of Montreal; he had seen Luzanne, and she might be deadly, if she had a good weapon! Presently, he saw Barouche and his agent stop at the door of a livery-stable, and were told that no cabs were available.

There were none in the street, and time was pressing.

Not far away, however, was a street with a tram-line, and this tram would take Barouche near the station from which Luzanne would start.

So Barouche made hard for this street and had reached it when a phaeton came along, and in it was one whom Barouche knew.

Barouche spoke to the occupant, and presently both men were admitted to the phaeton just as a tram-car came near.
As the phaeton would make the distance to the station in less time than the car, this seemed the sensible thing to do, and Denzil's spirits fell.
