 Into the picturesque1 village of Le Faouet, situated2 in the very heart of Brittany, there drove one morning in the month of May a lady whose spreading grey cloak and the thick veil that covered her face failed to hide her remarkable3 beauty and perfect grace of figure.
 
The lady took a hurried lunch at the principal inn. Then, at about half-past eleven, she begged the proprietor4 to look after her bag for her, asked for a few particulars about the neighbourhood and walked through the village into the open country.
 
The road almost immediately branched into two, of which one led to Quimper and the other to Quimperlé. Selecting the latter, she went down into the hollow of a valley, climbed up again and saw on her right, at the corner of another road, a sign-post bearing the inscription6, "Locriff, 3 kilometers."
 
"This is the place," she said to herself.
 
Nevertheless, after casting a glance around her, she was surprised not to find what she was looking for and wondered whether she had misunderstood her instructions.
 
There was no one near her nor any one within[Pg 12] sight, as far as the eye could reach over the Breton country-side, with its tree-lined meadows and undulating hills. Not far from the village, rising amid the budding greenery of spring, a small country house lifted its grey front, with the shutters7 to all the windows closed. At twelve o'clock, the angelus-bells pealed8 through the air and were followed by complete peace and silence.
 
Véronique sat down on the short grass of a bank, took a letter from her pocket and smoothed out the many sheets, one by one.
 
The first page was headed:
 
"DUTREILLIS' AGENCY.
 
"Consulting Rooms.
