Since the day that Charlotte had brought back the news of Roland's presence at Bourg, she had had a presentiment, like that of Morgan himself, that they were approaching some terrible crisis.

She knew all that had happened at the Chartreuse of Seillon.

She foresaw the struggle between her brother and her lover, and, with her mind at rest about her brother, thanks to Morgan's protection, she, knowing Roland's character, trembled for her lover's life.
Moreover, she had heard of the stoppage of the Chambery mail-coach and the death of the colonel of Chasseurs.

She also knew that her brother had escaped, but that he had disappeared since that time.

She had received no letter from him herself.
