I staggered giddily when I stood on my feet, and only Olivia's look of pain steadied me. She had been weeping bitterly. I could not trust myself to look in her face again. At any rate my next duty was to go away without adding to her distress, if that were possible. Tardif was standing behind her, regarding us both with great concern.
I will buy mam'zelle's pretty curls; and she shall have the money, and then there will be more than five pounds in her little purse. Tell me how much they will be. Ten pounds? Fifteen? Twenty?" "Nonsense, Tardif!" I answered; "keep one of them, if you like; but I must have the rest. We will settle it between us." "No, doctor," he said; "your cousin will not like that.
We even ventured, at her own wish, to spend a week together in Sark, she and I a week never to be forgotten, full of exquisite pain and exquisite enjoyment to us both. We revisited almost every place where we had been many years before, while I was but a child and she was still young and strong. Tardif rowed us out in his boat under the cliffs.
He was fired at was wounded. You will share with me the hope that the highwayman who stopped him may be brought to justice, though, indeed, your man Tardif left him behind in the dust. Perhaps you came upon him, Madame hein?" She steeled herself. Too much was at stake; she could not resent his hateful implications now. "Tardif was not my messenger, Monsieur, as you know.
"We travelled nearly all over Europe," she replied. I wondered whom she meant by "we." She had never used the plural pronoun before, and I thought of that odious woman in Guernsey an unpleasant recollection. We had wandered back to the opening where Tardif had left us.

Up and down went Tardif's shaggy mustache, the surest indication of emotion with him, and he fetched his breath almost with a sob. "Well, Dr. Martin?" was all he said. "The arm is set," I answered, "and now she must get some sleep. There is not the least danger, Tardif; only we will keep the house as quiet as possible."
The wedding was fixed to take place the last week in July, a fortnight earlier than the time proposed; it was also a fortnight earlier than the date I was looking forward to most anxiously, when, if ever, news would reach Tardif from Olivia. All my plans were most carefully made, in the event of her sending word where she was.
The thought struck me that the morning light would shine full upon the weak and weary eyelids of the sleeper; but upon going out into the fold to look at her casement, I discovered that Tardif had been before me and covered it with an old sail. The room within was sufficiently darkened.
Olivia looked from me to Tardif with a flushed face an augury that made my pulses leap. Why should her face never change when he carried her in his arms? Why should she shrink from me? "Are you as strong as Tardif?" she asked, lingering and hesitating before she would trust herself to me. "Almost, if not altogether," I answered gayly.
