So he bowed and withdrew: and on passing through the dining-room on his way to the little study where Cardinal Boccanera received his visitors, he found himself in the presence of Paparelli who was jealously guarding the door.
Il s’inclina et sortit. Puis comme il passait dans la salle à manger, pour se rendre au petit cabinet de travail où le cardinal Boccanera recevait, il se trouva en présence de l’abbé Paparelli, qui gardait la porte jalousement.

He was scarcely hidden there when he heard the chase sweep by, the detectives and the keepers losing scent, passing the chalet and rushing in the direction of the Paris ramparts.
