The duchess, with Anna, Lena, and Wilfrid, drove to the Ultenthal. Vittoria and Merthyr had a long afternoon of companionship. She had been shyer in meeting him than in meeting Wilfrid, whom she had once loved.
I have no knowledge of the Ultenthal. Has he a doctor attending him? When was he wounded? It is but common humanity to see that he is attended by an efficient doctor. My nerves are unstrung by the recent blow to our family; that is why Oh, my father! my holy father!" she turned to a grey priest's head that was rising up the ascent, "I thank God for you!
"He lies in the Ultenthal, wounded; and his wish was that I should deliver it to you." Vittoria spoke as gently as the harsh tidings would allow. "Wounded? My God! my God!" Anna cried in her own language. "Wounded? in the breast, then! He carried it in his breast. Wounded by what? by what?" "I can tell you no more." "Wounded by whom?" "It was an honourable duel."
