The eighth day, Agnella, exhausted with fatigue, had fallen asleep near the poor sufferer's bed; his difficult respiration and lifeless eye seemed to announce the near approach of death. Violette was on her knees, holding and pressing in her fine white hands the hairy hands of Ourson and covering them with tears and kisses.
I will restore Ourson and Violette to you unharmed." Agnella, trembling with happiness, comprehended the wisdom of the counsel given by Passerose. She remained rooted to the spot but shuddering with agitation while Passerose ran to seek a ladder. Passerose was absent a long time which was excusable as she was somewhat confused. First she seized a cord, then a pitchfork, then a chair.
Passerose was self-possessed: she had quite a large package of clothing which she had collected at the commencement of the fire. Agnella and Violette had escaped barefooted and in their night robes, and the clothing brought by Passerose was thus very necessary to protect them from the cold.
Agnella embraced her and said: "Dear Violette, Ourson is happy in your tenderness which fully rewards him for all he has done for you. I feel assured that on your part you would be happy to sacrifice yourself for him if an occasion offered, that only too willingly would you help him."
"As to this vial of perfumed oil, it is the wedding gift of the prince your cousin. I know you love perfumes, this has peculiar virtues; use it to-day. To-morrow I will return to seek you and carry you all to your kingdom," she said. "I renounce my kingdom, madam," said Ourson. "Who will govern your people?" said Agnella. "You, my mother, if you are willing," replied Ourson.
I will not leave this place where I saw my dear Ourson for the last time where he perished, a victim of his tenderness for us." Passerose shrugged her shoulders; she remembered that the stable had not been burned so she ran there with all speed, milked the cow, drank a cupful of milk and tried in vain to make Agnella and Violette do the same.
Here is a ring, which you must place upon your little finger. As long as you wear it there you will want for nothing." Waving her farewell with her hand, the fairy took the form of a lark and flew away singing merrily. Agnella and Passerose looked at each other. Agnella sighed, Passerose smiled. "Let us hide this precious casket, dear queen, and the clothing of Violette.
Agnella and Violette still wept bitterly; they appeared neither to hear nor understand what was passing around them. "Let us leave this place," said Passerose, at last. Agnella and Violette made no response. Passerose tried to lead Violette away. "Come," said she; "come, Violette, let us seek a shelter for the night the evening fortunately is mild." "What shelter do I want?" said Violette.
Along the Posina line their advance was delayed by the fire of heavy batteries from the Borcola. In the Astico Valley they occupied Pedescala. On the Sette Comuni Plateau the Austrians strengthened the northern side of the Assa Valley Heights on the left bank of the Galmarara to the Agnella Pass.
"I am not a bear, as you seem to suppose, but a poor boy seeking work and who would be very glad if you should give him employment." The farmer was greatly amazed to hear a bear speak. He did not know whether to fly or to interrogate him further. He resolved, however, to speak. "Who are you and from whence do you come?" "I come from the Woodland Farm and I am the son of Agnella," Ourson replied.
