"No, madam," replied her attendant, in a voice broken by sobs, "it is not for you I weep; it is for myself it is for that unhappy man.

I did not dare to make inquiries through strangers, which, if discovering my child, might also bring to light a marriage that would have dishonoured the memory of my lost saint.
