Marguerite hopes there are risks because she sees herself as having much to atone for.

“Oh, I hope there are risks!” she murmured softly, “I hope there are dangers, too!—I have so much to atone for. But I fear you are mistaken. Chauvelin’s eyes are fixed upon you all, he will scarce notice me. Quick, Sir Andrew!—the coach is ready, and there is not a moment to be lost. . . . I MUST get to him! I MUST!” she repeated with almost savage energy, “to warn him that that man is on his track. . . . Can’t you see—can’t you see, that I MUST get to him . . . even . . . even if it be too late to save him . . . at least . . . to be by his side . . . at the least.”
