"They saved her," he added significantly; "but she was injured, she was lame always from that day, and her eyes were injured. She may be blind, some day if she lives. He was killed before her eyes." "Oh, poor M'amzelle Leperier," groaned Esther, her heart aching with the tragedy of the terrible story. "I wonder it did not kill her." "It nearly did," said Anne significantly. "And her singing?"
"I have come to ask how she is, and how how Anne's wife is. My sister Esther was here last night. Made Miss, the French lady, asked her to tea, and and sent her home with a Mr. Anne." The man smiled. "Ah! I know. The young lady I conducted to her home last night Miss Esthaire. Come inside, m'amzelle. I know M'amzelle Leperier will wish to see you." A sudden shyness rushed over Poppy.
If m'amzelle could find time to come and cheer her, she would be glad, I know, and it would do her much good." He glanced at the others; but they had learned that Esther disliked any encroachment on what she considered her rights. "Oh, yes, I will come," she answered gladly. "I will come to-morrow.
I expect you are not used to such places at night?" "No, not at night. We love the moor, though, by day, and know it well, and I am not really afraid of the wild things." "No, m'amzelle," politely. Silence followed again. Esther grew desperate. "I I hope your wife will soon be better," she said sympathetically. "Thank you, m'amzelle. I hope so, too." "Is she very ill?"
"She never sang again, m'amzelle. She says her voice broke with the shock but it was her heart that broke. She loved him so; it was too cruel, too terrible." "Did you come here to live then?" "No, m'amzelle, not for a long time. We travelled from place to place. M'amzelle Lucille said she would go alone, but my wife and I would not leave her, she was so lonely, so triste, she had no one but us.
I cannot to-day, for it is my little sister's birthday, and we have had an invitation to tea; but I will come to-morrow, and I will bring a book. Perhaps Mademoiselle would like to be read to." "I am sure she would," agreed Anne. "Thank you, m'amzelle. Bon jour "; and with a bow which included them all, Anne hurried on.
"Oh, how interesting!" Mademoiselle Leperier's heart warmed towards her sympathetic visitor with the eager face, and soon they were deep in talk, so deep that they were surprised when Anne knocked at the door to say he had come to know if the young m'amzelle was ready to be conducted home.
I hope you will come to see her, m'amzelle. She likes you, I can see." Esther was delighted. Here, at last, was some one who really needed her. In her heart she determined to devote all her spare time to M'amzelle Lucille. The walk home was over much sooner than she wished.
"Well, not not dangerous, but she troubles. Our M'amzelle Lucille is not strong, she suffers so, and when Laura my wife is ill, M'amzelle does too much, she is so good." "Can't you have some one in to help you?" asked practical Esther. "No, m'amzelle, we are so far away. But we do not want any one really. I can do all.
