The old priest adjusted his horn-rimmed spectacles on his nose and drew a chair close to the light. He sat down and read Andor's letter through very slowly. When he had finished, he handed it back to Elsa. "God's ways, my child, are mysterious," he said, with a short sigh; "it is not for us to question them."
He first spoke of this to Pater Bonifácius, who was greatly shocked and upset to hear such casual news of Andor's death, and it was only bit by bit that he succeeded in dragging fuller particulars out of the sick man. It seems that when the lad's regiment was out in Bosnia there was an outbreak of cholera among the troops. Andor was one of those who succumbed.
"Elsa, my girl," he asked softly, "what is it?" "The best way of all." Pater Bonifácius had placed his kindly hand on the girl's hunched-up shoulders, and there was something in his touch which seemed to soothe the wild paroxysm of her grief. She raised her tear-stained face to his, and without a word for her lips were shaking and she could not have spoken then she handed him Andor's letter.
