But the young officer's fears had not only been lulled to sleep by the orderly conduct of the Sabine's crew, which led him to believe that they, like all the rest of their countrymen, were too cowardly to show fight under any circumstances, but he was tired and hungry, and he thought that a cup of coffee and something good to eat would take the place of the night's sleep which he knew he was going to lose.
She then laid the paper on Calyste's desk. Calyste found the letter and read it. Seeing Sabine's sentence and recognizing her handwriting he flung the letter into the fire, determined to pretend that he had never received it. Sabine spent a whole week in an agony the secrets of which are known only to angelic or solitary souls whom the wing of the bad angel has never overshadowed.
Andre was busy all night with his plans for the rich contractor, M. Gandelu, who wanted as much ornamental work on the outside of his house as he had florid decorations within.

Everything seemed to have combined to lead him on to predestined disaster and misery even in Sabine's and Michael's combining to keep the matter secret from him not to cause him pain all had augmented the suffering now. If but there was no good in contemplating ifs what he had to do was to think clearly as to what would be the wisest course to secure his darling's happiness.
She left Sabine to the care of Madame de Portenduere and stopped the accoucheur and Calyste in the salon. "Sabine's life is at stake, monsieur," she said to Calyste; "you have betrayed her for Madame de Rochefide." Calyste blushed, like a girl still respectable, detected in a fault.
In the morning before they left Héronac, Sabine's elderly maid, Simone, came to her with the face she always wore when her speech might contain any reference to the past. She had been with Sabine ever since the week after her marriage, and was a widow and a Parisian, with a kind and motherly heart. "Will madame take the blue despatch-box with her as usual?" she asked.
