Rising, she groped her way into the garden, and, without cloak or hat, she ran down the quiet lanes and along the high road to the moorland of Pleinmont, where her little home received her with its homely air of comfort. She crept up to her attic bedroom, and when her father and mother returned home, she would give no account of her sudden disappearance from the veille.

Detricand was stanching the blood at his temple with the scarf from his neck. "Get him some cordial, Guida he's wounded!" said de Mauprat.

"Allez, volez, zephyrs joyeux, Portez mes vœux vers ma patrie, Dites que je veille dans ces lieux, Que je veille dans ces lieux, C'est pour la gloire et pour m'amie.
