It has been in Spanish, but she is aware that he understands this, for he has no doubt that the "senorita" is she who has saved him. He remains without moving, without unclosing his eyelids. But his ears are open, and he hears a speech pleasanter than any yet spoken. It is in the shape of a soliloquy a few words softly murmured.
"Open your eyes," he said, "and forgive me; we will die together." "Die?" she said, opening her eyes and unclosing her pallid lips. Calyste welcomed that word with a kiss, and felt the marquise tremble under it convulsively, with passionate joy. At that instant Gasselin's hob-nailed shoes sounded on the rock above them.
As she felt his hand thus closing and unclosing over hers, she was conscious that she, who in their intercourse had played a dominant part, who had even deliberately brought about that intercourse by her action on the tower, now longed to be passive and, forgetting her own power and the strength and force of her nature, to lose herself in the greater strength and force of this man to whom she had given herself.
The morning-star now stands over the tops of the mountains, and gales and breezes, not of earth, show that the gates of day are unclosing.

"My hopes, that languished for a moment, were revived by the sight of my shelves, furnished as formerly. I had lighted my candle below, for I desired not to awaken observation and suspicion by unclosing the windows.

The same shops were unclosing their shutters; the same crippled negro beggar was taking his place at the corner of the market; the same maids were sweeping the sidewalks with the same brooms; the same clerk bowed to her from the drug store where she bought her medicines; and yet something the only thing which had ever interested her in these people and this place had passed out of them.
They were asleep, drawing short and heavy breaths, which heaved their big sides up and down.
