“I saw the Count’s head coming out from the window. I did not see the face, but I knew the man by the neck and the movement of his back and arms. In any case, I could not mistake the hands which I had had so many opportunities of studying. I was at the point of descending from the window when I saw some strange form emerging from the window. It was followed by another and another, but the Count, who moved away in the opposite direction, was now lost to me.”
