This bell and its other small companions had tinkled their way into his heart at each step she had taken down the long road from Evreux to Alenon tinkled merrily at Passy, joyously at Vallcy, disdainfully at Verneuil, and contentedly at La Mesle.

To-morrow she will play again. The Contessa will hear her, perhaps?" Philidor breathed gratefully. A firmer hand than his now controlled their destinies.
