From the library
A small door, close to the lodge of the concierge, gave ingress and egress to the servants and masters when they were on foot.
Not only was the first gendarme still there, but the young man now perceived a second yellow, blue, and white uniform at the foot of the staircase, the only one by which he could descend, while a third, on horseback, holding a musket in his fist, was posted as a sentinel at the great street-door which alone afforded the means of egress.
