"Ah, yes!" said Maurice, with a sigh; "but let us think of ourselves, and leave the dead, wherever they may be, to rest in the grave dug by their devotion. Adieu! I am going."
"Return quickly."
"In less than half an hour I shall be here again."
"But if Lorin is not at home?"
"What does it matter? his servant knows me. And even in his absence I can take what I please, as he would do here in mine."
"Very well."
"Now, my Geneviève, prepare everything; but, as I have told you, confine yourself to necessaries. I do not wish our departure to appear like a removal."
The young man advanced a step toward the door.
"Maurice!" said Geneviève.
He turned round, and saw the young woman extend her arms toward him.
