The music was not loud enough to drown the sound of the voices, and Lena, in low, trembling tones, said: "Shall I ever be married?"
"Yes," replied Adéle.
"To whom?"
"An Englishman."
She thought of Harkaway and Lord Maltravers, who were both of that nationality.
To which of the two did the medium refer?
"Two men love you," continued Adéle.
"I know it, but for heaven's sake which of the two will be my fate?" cried Lena, who was scarcely able to suppress her emotion.
Adéle's fingers nervously clutched the gold locket which hung round her neck.
"Come!" she said.
