Genestas was accustomed to painful scenes, yet he could not help shuddering as he saw a dozen men and women standing weeping outside the door of the great hall. "The master is dead!" they wailed; the unison of voices gave appalling effect to the words which they repeated twice during the time required to cross the space between the gateway and the farmhouse door.

He recoiled, as if he had seen death itself. "No," said he.

At length, when her fit of inspiration came, she spoke, for the first few moments, in a low voice, and not invariably distinct utterance.
