'Yes, I believe I do, ma'amselle; but this is such a strange rambling place! I have been lost in it already: they call it the double chamber, over the south rampart, and I went up this great stair-case to it. My lady's room is at the other end of the castle.
They went safely out into the park road, and along toward the porter's lodge. Patty's heart beat fast as she wondered uncertainly whether the porter would open the gate for her or not, but she carried off matters with a high hand, and ordered in the name of Ma'amselle Labesse that the gate be opened, and it was. Through it they went, and out on to the high road.
"Nay," she said, and the deep voice was lifeless, "I am beyond help." Dupre's fingers slipped, trembling, around her arm. "But I am a stone to your foot, Ma'amselle, always remember that. When the way becomes too hard there shall be a stone to your foot. I ask no better fate and you have said." The miserable eyes were not dead to everything. At his swift words they glowed a moment.
'Dear ma'amselle! said Annette, fixing her eyes on Emily's face, 'what makes you look so pale? are you ill? 'No, Annette, I am well enough, but I have no desire to see this picture; return into the hall. 'What! ma'am, not to see the lady of this castle? said the girl 'the lady, who disappeared to strangely?
"Josephte, ma'amselle," said Chrysler very quietly and pleadingly, "do you not love François?" The blood swept over her forehead again, and changed it once more from white to red. The tears stopped in her eyes and she regarded him for a moment with an intense look. "François loves you," he proceeded. He went on: "Where is the difficulty? Is it not very cruel to deny François your love?
Dorothee wept again, and then, taking up the veil, threw it suddenly over Emily, who shuddered to find it wrapped round her, descending even to her feet, and, as she endeavoured to throw it off, Dorothee intreated that she would keep it on for one moment. 'I thought, added she, 'how like you would look to my dear mistress in that veil; may your life, ma'amselle, be a happier one than hers!
Everybody knew the popular songs of the day, and choruses and glees were sung with that enthusiasm which is always noticeable on the water. The merry party adjourned to the dining-room for a light supper after their vocal exercises. Patty was sorry that her friend and tablemate, the old Ma'amselle, had not been visible since that first dinner.
'I was not in the way, ma'amselle, replied Annette, 'when the first party came in from the mountains, and the last party is not come back yet, so I don't know, whether there are any prisoners; but it is expected back to-night, or to-morrow, and I shall know then, perhaps. Emily enquired if she had ever heard the servants talk of prisoners.
She sighed as though he were fighting remote in the Caucasus. Presently came the sharp ring of a bell. Jeanne put aside her work and rose. "It is my aunt who has awakened." But Toinette was already at the door. "I will go up, Ma'amselle Jeanne. Do not derange yourself." She bustled away. Once more the pair found themselves alone together.
'Now I think of it, ma'amselle, said Annette, 'I do believe there are prisoners, for I overheard one of the Signor's men, yesterday, in the servants hall, talking something about ransoms, and saying what a fine thing it was for his excellenza to catch up men, and they were as good booty as any other, because of the ransoms.
