It certainly is—thank you :D

Haha, when I found it, I went back to the book to compare them, because I remembered the bit and wanted to see if it was word-by-word (and I found the ending made its way into chapter 36)

So it did! Heh, I'm looking at it now—parts of it really are word-for-word, although there are plenty of little changes—obviously the bit with Anne wondering how far it is to France wouldn't make sense in the version where he's already made the journey in the course of being kidnapped and rescued. Actually, I wonder if La Vireville as a character split off from the M de Soucy of the story—here de Soucy is a Chevalier, and he's described as 'a former companion-in-arms of his father's... older than the Marquis, but almost fanatically devoted to him, yet prevented, by a wound recently received in one of the many small gun-running expeditions on the Breton coast', which sounds more like La Vireville's life (in the novel de Soucy got his wound 'three years ago' in a battle).
