And yet, realizing what grounds he had for hope, McLean was utterly downcast when he faced the situation before him. It would take him a year with the utmost economy he could command to pay off the load that had been so ruthlessly heaped upon him.
The Marechal, outraged upon hearing so bold and so truthful a reply, let out with, greater violence than ever against Heudicourt, accused him of ingratitude and villainy, drove him away, and a few minutes after had him arrested and conducted as a prisoner to the chateau at Calais.

They were of great service to me, and especially that one incidentally truthful piece of biography of Stapleton's. I was able to establish the identity of the man and the woman and knew at last exactly how I stood.
I understood the main fact, but that is about all. You didn't tell me what happened after." The professor's chair, which had been tilted negligently back, came down with a thud. "After?" he murmured meekly. "After ?" "I mean," prompted Desire gently, "did she marry the other man?" "The other man? I I don't know." The professor was willing to be truthful while he could.
