"What put that into your head ?" Lucian immediately told about the supposed connection between Vrain and Wrent, but, suppressing that it was Lydia's or Ferruci's idea, based his supposition on the fact of the resemblance between the two men.

Link heard the theory with scorn, and scouted the idea that the two men could be one and the same.
"I've seen Vrain," said he.

"The old man is as mad as a March hare and as silly as a child.

He's in his dotage, and could not possibly carry out such a plan.

But we can easily learn the truth." "From whom ?" asked Lucian.
"Ah, Mr.Denzil, you are not so clever as you think yourself," scoffed Link.
