"I'm going this road," said Darius, when they were safely out of the Bank, pointing towards the Sytch. "What for?" "I'm going this road," he repeated, gloomily obstinate. "All right," said Edwin cheerfully. "I'll trot round with you." He did not know whether he could safely leave his father. The old man's eyes resented his assiduity and accepted it.

"It must be some dream of Mornay's," said Crevecoeur, "or some old and absurd tradition of the place; but we will examine." He was about to open the closet door, when Louis answered, "No, Crevecoeur, no. Your honour is sufficient warrant.
