It was afterwards ascertained that Cesarini had remained in the streets after his short interview with Ernest, that at length he had knocked at Lord Saxingham's door just in the very hour when death had claimed its victim.
While gradually, however, his spirit recovered its usual elasticity, he came in the vicinity of Lord Saxingham's house, and suddenly, by a corner of the street, his arm was seized: to his inexpressible astonishment he recognised in the muffled figure that accosted him the form of Florence Lascelles. "Good heavens!" he cried, "is it possible?
The physician kindly approached, and, taking Lord Saxingham's hand, led him from the room he went mute and obedient like a child. But the struggle was not yet past. Florence once more opened her eyes, and Maltravers uttered a cry of joy.

It was one late afternoon in September, when the sun was slowly going down its western way, that Lady Florence, who had been all that morning in her own room, paying off, as she said, the dull arrears of correspondence, rather on Lord Saxingham's account than her own; for he punctiliously exacted from her the most scrupulous attention to cousins fifty times removed, provided they were rich, clever, well off, or in any way of consequence: it was one afternoon that, relieved from these avocations, Lady Florence strolled through the grounds with Cleveland.
To the last she could endure love and hope. One day when Maltravers left his post, she besought him, with more solemnity than usual, to return that evening. She fixed the precise hour, and she sighed heavily when he departed. Maltravers paused in the hall to speak to the physician, who was just quitting Lord Saxingham's library.

En pouvez-vous demander davantage?"* Lettres de Madame de Sevigne
