Moreover, he sat down at a table, and drawing a sheet of paper written over with memoranda, he began to read aloud with a glance towards Wogan at the end of each sentence.
"The house stands in the _faubourgs_ of Innspruck.

There is an avenue of trees in front of the house; on the opposite side of the avenue there is a tavern with the sign of 'The White Chamois.'" Wogan committed the words to memory.
"The Princess and her mother," continued the Chevalier, "are imprisoned in the east side of the house." "And how guarded, sir ?" asked Wogan.
The Chevalier read again from his paper.
"A sentry at each door, a third beneath the prisoners' windows.

They keep watch night and day.

Besides, twice a day the magistrate visits the house." "At what hours ?" "At ten in the morning.

The same hour at night." "And on each visit the magistrate sees the Princess ?" "Yes, though she lies abed." Wogan stroked his chin.
