Have it
done at once at Shipton."
"What will you do with the certificate?" She glanced at Junia's bosom
where the paper was hidden. "I will give it to Carnac, and he can do what
he likes with it."
By now the tears were streaming down the face of Luzanne Larue, and hard
as it was for Junia, she tried to comfort her, for the girl should be got
away at once, and only friendliness could achieve that. She would see
Denzil--he was near by, waiting.
There would be a train in two hours for New York and the girl must take
it-she must.
CHAPTER XXV
DENZIL TAKES A HAND IN THE GAME
Barode Baruche was excited. He had sure hope of defeating Carnac with the
help of Luzanne Larue. The woman had remained hidden since her coming,
and the game was now in his hands. On the night before the poll he could
declare the thing, not easy to be forgiven by the French-Canadian public,
which has a strong sense of domestic duty. Carnac Grier was a Protestant,
and that was bad, and if there was added an offence against domestic
morality, he would be beaten at the polls as sure as the river ran. He
had seen Luzanne several times, and though he did not believe in her, he
knew the marriage certificate was real.
