A long pause occurred, in which Raoul remained stead-fastly gazing at the starry canopy above. "It is remarkable, Ghita," he said, at length, "that I Raoul Yvard the corsair the man of wars and tempests combats and hairbreadth escapes should be dying here, on this rock, with all those stars looking down upon me, as it might be, from your heaven, seeming to smile upon me!"
On such occasions it often happens that a great deal comes to light which would otherwise have been most stead-fastly concealed, and one of them may even be heard to blurt out the most precious secrets of the whole brotherhood.
