"'Do you wish it? asked Albrege. 'Do you wish it? "'Yes, answered the husband; 'I doubt I want to be certain. "'Then, be it so, said she.
"But repelling her husband with an imperious gesture, Albrege answered him proudly: 'Certain of my honor, I did not fear the trial.... I felt at ease on my child's fate. The gods could not punish an innocent woman with the loss of her child.... But ... a woman suspected is a woman outraged.... I shall keep my child.
