"Women are awkward things to handle in a camp of soldiers. No disguise can hide them from prying eyes." As a last resort, Zulma resolved on appealing directly to Monseigneur Briand, whom surely Carleton would not deny.

She had seen him whom it would have been difficult to disguise from her, pass the house, and had allowed him to suppose himself undiscovered, and then pursued, in order to enjoy, undisturbed, a meeting which she desired as much as he.

As the house was rifled and deserted by its occupants, it was hinted that the negro had betrayed his master to his fellow-buccaneers, and that he, Pluto, was no other than the devil in disguise. But he was not, for his skiff was seen floating bottom up in the bay soon after, and his drowned body lodged among the rocks at the foot of the pirates' gallows.

Though his words seem true and wise, Soul, I say to thee, Arise, He is a Demon in disguise!" It is a phase in which one feels his own peculiar sorrow as the most unendurable of all. Perhaps it is but one must abandon that point of view. "That way madness lies." His life may be desolate, but he must not allow himself to meditate on that conviction.
