Emile, the year previous, had fallen a victim to the fever that raged on the island; and their child, Anglice, was likely to follow him. In pitiful terms she begged Antoine to take charge of the child until she was old enough to enter the convent of the Sacré-Cour.
Her fingers tightened gently upon his. "I understand," she said quietly; "if we're obliged to separate, I'm to go direct to the Sacre-Cour and await you there." "Right! ...But let's hope there'll be no such necessity."
Nor had she: when weary and spent from that heartbreaking climb up the merciless acclivity of the Butte Montmartre he staggered rather than walked past the sleepy verger and found his way through the crowding shadows to the softly luminous heart of the basilica of the Sacre-Cour, he found her there, kneeling, her head bowed upon hands resting on the back of the chair before her: a slight and timid figure, lost and lonely in the long ranks of empty chairs that filled the nave.
Hotels, cafes and restaurants are out of the question: in the first place, we've barely money enough for our dinner; besides, they'll be watched closely; as for our embassies and consulates, they aren't open at all hours, and will likewise be watched. There remain unless you can suggest something only the churches; and I can think of none better suited to our purposes than the Sacre-Cour."
