He and Zoe were going north, to take a farm somewhere." "Somewhere! Somewhere!" murmured Jean Jacques. "The farther away from Jean Jacques the better that is what she thinks." "No, you are wrong, my friend," rejoined M. Fille. "She said to Madame Poucette's sister" he held up the letter "that when they had proved they could live without anybody's help they would come back to see you.
He hustled his prisoner out. Jean Jacques did not want to appear in court, and as the walking was officially good at dawn, he said good-bye to Virginie Poucette's sister through the crack of a door, and was gone before she could restrain him. "Well, things happen that way," he said, as he turned back to look at Shilah before it disappeared from view.
He had all at once a sense of hatred. He shook the shoulder against which the man had collided. He remembered the leer on the insolent, handsome face. "I'd like to see him thrown into the river," said Virginie Poucette's sister. "We have a nice girl here come from Ireland as good as can be. Well, last night but there, she oughtn't to have let him speak to her. 'A kiss is nothing, he said.

Jean Jacques took the letter, but he could not bring himself to read it, for Virginie Poucette's manner was not suggestive of happy tidings. After an instant's hesitation he handed the letter to M. Fille, who pressed his lips with an air of determination, and put on his glasses. Jean Jacques saw the face of the Clerk of the Court flush and then turn pale as he read the letter.
M. Fille was in distress. Jean Jacques had had a warning about Sebastian Dolores, but here was another pit into which he might fall, the pit digged by a widow, who, no doubt, would not hesitate to marry a divorced Catholic philosopher, if he could get a divorce by hook or by crook. Jean Jacques had said that he was going to Virginie Poucette's place the next day.

Shilah it was where Virginie Poucette's sister lived; and Virginie had been a part of the great revelation of his life at St. Saviour's. As he was walking by the riverside at Shilah, a woman spoke to him, touching his arm as she did so. He was in a deep dream as she spoke, but there certainly was a look in her face that reminded him of someone belonging to the old life.
Yet, how could that be, since Carmen Dolores was still his wife if she was alive; and also they both were Catholics, and Catholics did not recognize divorce! Truth is, Virginie Poucette's mind did not define her feelings at all clearly, or express exactly what she wanted.
The Clerk of the Court shook his head and began. "She is alive. Madame Poucette's sister saw her by chance. Zoe was on her way up the Saskatchewan River to the Peace River country with her husband. Her husband's health was bad. He had to leave the stage in the United States where he had gone after Winnipeg. The doctors said he must live the open-air life.
