Remorse in all its horror seized him with the last glance of Cyrène's tearful eyes. He could not but feel the demand of those eyes for fine honour in the man on whom they rested in love.
"Get up, you sow, and sweep my floor!" exclaimed the ragman's wife. "Get up!" Cyrène's first instinct was to lie still in tacit disdain. The recollection of Germain, however, crossed her mind.

This was the price he paid to regain the fair Cyrene's favour, but I am convinced that Benjamin Vajdar is at the bottom of it all. The prince bases his suit for a separation on his wife's alleged epileptic attacks and consequent unfitness for the wedded state. Of course that is all nonsense.
