The hope was too sweet the chance of happiness too beautiful to be lost. He felt as if he had a right to this one blessing. He had lost all beside. But, perhaps, this was a presumptuous mood, destined to rebuke and disappointment.
Certainly there was heritage of hates as well as gold. A tenant Jean Setain, who came to the Paris mansion to pay his rent, made a scene.
