You are very imprudent to have remained in this damp wood, and it was absurd of Monsieur to let you do so." She took the arm of the old doctor, smiling, and reentered the hut.
Suddenly his heart seemed to swell with some emotion, a faint scent of tuberoses filled the air and from exactly above his head there came a gentle, tender sigh. He started violently, and brusquely turned and looked up. Almost indistinguishable in the deep shadow he saw the woman's face. It seemed to emerge from a mist of black gauze. And looking down into his were a pair of eyes a pair of eyes.
He will feel himself so forsaken! 'Yes, said Kendal huskily; 'he will be very lonely, but one must learn to bear it.
