But you are playing a dangerous game, sir: maybe the time will come when I shall not cast out him whom I have hated!" "Well, that will be your own business, my dear. But the first business is to tell our relation Lorand that by ten o'clock this evening he must not be found here: for at that hour they will come to arrest him." Hermine walked up and down her room in anger.
"Listen, Hermine; I consider myself as brave as most men, but when I drew from my breast the little key of the staircase, which I had found in my coat that little key we both used to cherish so much, which you wished to have fastened to a golden ring when I opened the door, and saw the pale moon shedding a long stream of white light on the spiral staircase like a spectre, I leaned against the wall, and nearly shrieked.
"Oh, yes! then I should have been Hermine, and you would have asked her." Two happier young people than Thérèse and myself never, I am confident, returned by rail from a day's excursion in the country.

Hermine Amersfoodt-Dyck won fame by producing the cantata, "Gottes Allgegenwart." In the operatic field, Josepha Müller-Gallenhofer, born at Vienna in 1770, seems the pioneer. Besides her opera, "Der Heimliche Bund," she published a string quartette and many pieces for the harp, upon which she was an excellent performer.
Your mother, H. D." Monte-Cristo shuddered. "Hermine Danglars," he muttered to himself. "Poor, poor woman!"
