"On his father?"
Then, remembering all that was told in the region, of the death of Baron Michel the older, she exclaimed:--
"His father! found dead at a hunt! Ah, miserable man! what do you mean?"
"That the son may avenge his father by bringing mourning for mourning upon us."
"In what way?"
"Through you, and because you love him madly."
"What of that?"
"I can myself assure you of one thing."
"And that is?"
"That he does not love you."
