The women were affected to tears by their susceptible nature, the surroundings of the cemetery with its graves, the evening dusk, and the touching voice with its apposite lines. An effect he redoubled by concluding: And women o'er the graves shall weep, Where nameless heroes calmly sleep!
He was at peace with all the world. He had forgiven his enemy. Bower rose again stiffly. He would have spoken; but Stampa now fell on his knees and began to pray silently.
