His order, that all the servants should appear, was at length obeyed, and they declared their ignorance of any deceit a protestation which could not be believed; for it was evident, that, as Montoni's liquor, and his only, had been poisoned, a deliberate design had been formed against his life, which could not have been carried so far towards its accomplishment, without the connivance of the servant, who had the care of the wine ewers.

With the same reply she receives your protestation of love, and blushes as she receives.
He stood silent some moments, then burst out passionately 'Why then has love come to us? We did not seek it. Surely love is of God. Does God mock us?
