If Mademoiselle de Bellefeuille had noted her mother's face she might have seen what no one ever will see Death laughing.

The doors of cupboards and wardrobes were slamming as though Francoise were hunting high and low for a lost lottery ticket. Just as this crisis was at a climax, Mademoiselle de Bellefeuille came to stand by her mother's bed, lavishing tender words on her. "Oh my dear mother, how criminal I have been! You are ill, and I did not know it; my heart did not warn me. However, here I am " "Caroline "
