"May I lead you thither, madam?" asked Denis, offering his hand with his most courtly bearing. She accepted it; and the pair passed out of the chapel, Blanche in a very drooping and shamefast condition, but Denis strutting and raffling in the consciousness of a mission, and the boyish certainty of accomplishing it with honor.
