And still Isaura made no reply. She stood mute, and cold, and rigid as a statue of marble. At length, as if consciousness had been arrested and was struggling back, she sighed heavily, and passed her hands slowly over her forehead. "Mockery, mockery," she said then, with a smile half bitter, half plaintive, on her colourless lips.
'Poor thing! the tender flower exclaimed, with the utmost pity, forgetting now all former slights. 'Creep under my leaves, perhaps they may shield you. But your beautiful wings, how came they so torn and colourless? 'The pitiless storm last night fell upon me and crushed me to the earth in its fury, he answered, with difficulty, for he was so feeble.
