Not altogether unfamiliar was the theme; the priestess of whom I have spoken had once brought it from the Holy of Holies, when she was appointed to stand; and now, remembering, I broke out with the word, "Florestan!" As I uttered it, the music ceased with the dreary fall of an octave.
"You owe me nothing; I have said my name shall be no further dishonored; it shall not be," said M. de Saint Remy, calmly; and taking his cane, which he had placed on the bureau, he turned toward the door. "Father, your hand at least!" said Florestan, in a supplicating tone. "Here, to-night, at ten-o'clock," replied the count, refusing his hand. And he departed.
"Well, now that you are a prospective millionaire, I would advise you to see her in the name of that very future happiness." "You are right, Florestan; I shall see her, and if this cruel mystery can be explained, if I find her as in the past, affectionate and devoted, what bliss shall be mine!
