What malaria she had found to breathe on the mountain-top it would be hard to say; but the dreaded perniciosa had caught her in its grasp, and she was doomed. The fever burned fiercely for a few days, and when it was quenched there was nothing left but ashes. And thus died the only earthly thing to which Sister Silvia's heart clung.
As I was reflecting on what had happened I met my brother, and he completed my cure. I took him to dine at Silvia's and stayed there till midnight. I saw that Mdlle. Baletti would make me forget the fair inconstant, whom I wisely determined not to see again before the wedding. To make sure I set out the next day for Versailles, to look after my interests with the Government.
At four they all set out, and I spent my evening at the Italian comedy. I was in love with Mdlle. de la Meure, but Silvia's daughter, whose company at supper was all I had of her, weakened a love which now left nothing more to desire.
Hilda Ramsey, white and worn, kissed her brother with quivering lips and went out of the court leaning on her husband's arm, and making no pretense of concealing her suffering. Neither her belief in her brother's innocence, nor her confidence in Silvia's ability to prove it, could counteract the pain and humiliation of the past weeks.
I told him that as I was going to Paris in a public conveyance far from its being a question of permission I should be only too happy to have the pleasure of his company. On reaching Paris we parted, after promising to call on each other, and I went to Silvia's and took supper there.
Silvia's eyes and mine had met in speechless horror since she had mentioned the "writing woman." "Lucien!" Silvia now said in a tragic, hoarse whisper "the Polydores!" "Oh, do you know them?" asked Miss Frayne. "Dr. Felix Polydore, the eminent LL.D. or something like that." "The whole family are D's," I said. "His wife is the highest of high-brows, and they are averse to interviews.
Every day during the trial Dr. Morris had occupied practically the same seat in the courtroom. His naturally colorless face gave no indication of the emotions within, and when Silvia's address told him all too plainly that his deeds were to be publicly uncovered, he turned a trifle more livid, but otherwise gave no evidence of his feelings.
Fortified with Silvia's letter, and accompanied by her husband, I went to the duke who was at his estate at St. Toro, and he had scarcely read the letter through before he gave me the passport. Satisfied on this point I went to Villette, and asked Madame if she had anything I could take to her niece.
"It was interesting," I said, "but I think it would be a bore to see the same ghost twice." "I am sure I don't care to go again," was Silvia's emphatic reply when asked to be one of the party. "Ghosts are scientifically admitted and explained," growled Rob, "so I don't see anything to be excited about."
