Ere she had made the request that he should undertake the education and guidance of the children, he voluntarily proposed to devote his best powers to them.

She ordered everybody who came near her to explain what had happened, thus detaining her granddaughter Helena, who was trying to save the most valuable articles in the dwelling.
