 A scene on the docks as Fronsac and Mani are loading supplies for the trip   to Africa. Thomas DApacher turns up and tells Fronsac that the beast   continued attacking after he and De Beauternes left. DApacher cannot find   anyone to go on the hunt with him and he wants to try to hunt this time   using Manis methods. At first Fronsac refuses, but DApacher provides him   with a love letter from Marianne in which she asks for the secret meeting at   her nannys house. Fronsac agrees to return.
