Ines makes her way to the local village, engaging in conversation with various folk to see if any might have information about Guillaume.
Meanwhile . . .
Miss Davenport attempts to track the missing man, searching carefully through the surrounding countryside for clues.
Puzzled by this mystery, Isaac pauses to meditate upon the problem.
"I have seen things like this in the land of the Berbers," he says. "The prints of camels -- you are familiar with that strange beast of the desert? -- which vanish suddenly in undisturbed sand. Persons seen clearly at a distance who disappear from sight without explanation. Whatever it was that Guillaume found at the Chateau seems to have given him some sort of preternatural power. I fear that makes him very dangerous indeed."
