No weird feasting followed the unconsecrated ceremony: only Dominic took refuge from sickening terror in a drunken bout. But Perrin stood long beside her grave: and prayed for the poor little woman so soon to be left alone in the island, henceforth to be haunted by her sad spirit. An hour after Blaisette's burial, Ellenor fainted while she was making preparations for leaving the house.

The girl of the cottage was an excellent foil to the girl of Colomberie Farm.

The rapture died out of her face, which stiffened into tragic lines of misery and jealousy. Every blush and pretty gesture of Blaisette's called forth a new expression in the large clear eyes of the watcher on the stairs.
