At last they prepared to seek a rest of which they both stood in need, and which they soon found-=the wounded man in his bed, and the young counsellor in his chair. As for the Capuchin, he walked toward his tent, meditating how he should turn all this so as to take the greatest possible revenge, when he met Laubardemont dragging the young mad-woman by her two hands.
It was true that the distorted image of the moon floated dimly in the Pool, as though it had indeed been caught by the mad-woman, and drowned. "How soft the ground is!" breathed Angel. "Ay, and the Pool has no bottom," said the lamplighter. "I can't think she'd have the heart to do it," said Martindale. The Seraph screamed. "There she is! I see her! Standing in the Pool!" We ran to the brink.
Suddenly he became conscious of my presence, and glancing at me with his usual iron gravity, said, with an expression of haughty indifference, as if my opinion of his extraordinary conduct was matter of no importance, "Geoffrey, go and tell that mad-woman But no. I will go myself." He advanced to the door, seemed again irresolute, and finally bade me show her into the study.

The latter drank to encourage himself, and then continued to sing. As he ended, he felt his seat totter, and fell backward; Jacques, thus freed from him, sprang toward the door, when it opened, and his head struck against the cold, pale face of the mad-woman. He recoiled. "The judge!" she said, as she entered; and she fell prostrate on the cold ground.
Do you also stand here to fight as he fought " "Peace, mad-woman!" exclaimed the young man, stooping after his hat. "Peace, and be off out of my way, for I have far to ride." The Gaelic words came roughly and brokenly from him, but the old hag took no heed. Instead, she advanced swiftly and laid her hand on his arm, still gazing into his face with a great wonder on her wrinkled features.
The innkeeper answered from below: "Coming, Monsieur, coming; they have been helping me to catch the madwoman." "What mad-woman?" said Cinq-Mars, rising in bed.
Valentina Mihailovna took her fingers from her bodice. "Yes, Mariana Vikentievna! I am speaking of that cultured, excellent young man, Mr. Kollomietzev, who would make a wife happy and whom only a mad-woman could refuse! Yes, only a mad-woman!" "What can I do, ma tante? It seems that I am mad!" "Have you anything serious against him?" "Nothing whatever. I simply despise him."

When I told her I was your mother, she turned her back upon me, with the remark, 'He says I'm mad, and surely none but a mad-woman would look for mercy from a tiger's dam! She has never spoken to me since." Dr. Oleander stood listening with a very gloomy face.
Bertha Mason is mad; and she came of a mad family idiots and maniacs through three generations! Her mother, the Creole, was both a mad-woman and a drunkard! as I found out after I had wed the daughter; for they were silent on family secrets before. Bertha, like a dutiful child, copied her parent in both points. I had a charming partner pure, wise, modest; you can fancy I was a happy man.
