Luckily, they find themselves near the Montclaire mansion, where Elizabeth receives them warmly as guests.
After dinner Caroline takes Rosalie along to go find Lionel, the beautiful nephew of the Countess, deciding that if she can't marry Oscar she can at least marry Lionel and inherit the Montclaire fortune, for Lionel is the sole relative of the Countess. Rosalie refuses and Caroline goes off alone. While she is killed by Lionel, who has in fact been a puppet built by a famous clockmaker the Countess kidnapped, the Countess and her servants try to kill Oscar, Rosalie and André. They manage to escape with the help of Loulou. (en)
