It seemed strange to Juliette that there did not hang over it some sort of pall-like presentiment of coming evil. From the kitchen, at some little distance from the hall, Anne Mie's voice was heard singing an old ditty: "De ta tige detachee Pauvre feuille dessechee Ou vas-tu?" Juliette paused a moment.
In these troublous times she might easily have been both. In any case she was a childhood's companion of the Citizen-Deputy whether on an equal or a humbler footing, Juliette would have given much to ascertain. With the marvellous instinct peculiar to women of temperament, she had already divined Anne Mie's love for Deroulede.
The sight of Anne Mie's pathetic little face as she brought her food and delicacies and various little comforts, was positive torture to the poor, harrowed soul. At very sound in the great, silent house she started up, quivering with apprehension and horror. Had the sword of Damocles, which she herself had suspended, already fallen over the heads of those who had shown her nothing but kindness?

But Selwyn's information upon the state of France was not very accurate. Good God, Lady C., what have I done? Mie Mie wrote a letter yesterday to her mother; I was to put it in the same envelope with' my own. They were only to thank her for hers, which the Comte d'Elci brought me from her, enquiring after Mie Mie's health. To-day I find Mie Mie's letter on my table.
Selwyn himself was in somewhat low spirits, he was as we know troubled by Mie Mie's parents, and he longed for the society of Carlisle and his family. I have, indeed, for the present all I ever wished, but I have also the strongest assurances given me that at all events things shall continue for some time in the state in which they now are.
Juliette asked no more questions, but allowed Anne Mie to tidy her hair for her, to lend her a fresh kerchief and generally to efface all traces of her terrible adventure. She felt puzzled and tearful. Anne Mie's gentleness seemed somehow to jar on her spirits. She could not understand the girl's position in the Deroulede household. Was she a relative, or a superior servant?
Juliette, stricken with tardy remorse perhaps, had succeeded in concealing it. The matter had practically ceased to interest him. It was equally galling to owe his betrayal or his ultimate safety to her. He kissed his mother tenderly, bidding her good-bye, and pressed Anne Mie's timid little hand warmly between his own.
"From Milan things are well; at least, no menaces from thence of any sort, and I am assured, by one who is the most intimate friend of the Emperor's minister there, that he was much more likely to approve than to disapprove of Mie Mie's being with me, knowing as he does the turn and character of the mother."
Visitors were offered salt by some of the boys, and in exchange gave money. The amount collected after payment of the expenses belonged to the captain of the school. "History of Eton College," by H.
