Albano gazed into the groping, timid face, and guessed all her blindness had returned! The mother rushed up. "May God bring you retribution for this!" cried Albano to her. "Farewell, unhappy Liana!" For many days Albano lived without love or hope, in bitter self-reproach; every recollection darted into him a scorpion-sting.
He had worshipped the woman who had given up all for him; they had lived only for, and in one another during four wonderful years. Hardly a passing twinge of regret, never a scorpion-sting of remorse, spoiled their union. But they never stayed long in any town or even in any village.
That she could desert him or his child was a possibility that never shaped itself in his mind. That drop of poison was happily wanting in his cup; and the bitterness of death was sweet compared to the scorpion-sting of such a supposition. She did not return.
