I wouldn't talk to her about it. What was the good? She'd forgotten long ago how the heart of a girl like me hungers for its true mate, and how frightful is the thought of giving oneself to a man one does not love!
The words became clearer and louder as I proceeded, so that the last "Weymouth!" was uttered in a sort of falsetto scream. A door burst open upon the other side of the corridor.

"But surely you are the superior in station and in every way, and the cut must come from you." "Tchut! Must I tell verbatim, you simple child? Oh, I suppose I must! I shall eat away my heart if I do not let out all, after meeting you like this and finding how guileless you are." She thereupon whispered a few words in the girl's ear, and burst into a violent fit of sobbing.
She was very formal in her manner, and, to tell the truth for her, rather frightened. The Serjeant had asked her to call and see Lady Anna Lovel. Might she be permitted to do so? Then the Countess burst forth with a long story of all her wrongs, with the history of her whole life.
