"Then that was his light!" thought she. "I might see him! I will see him." Madame de Watteville exchanged rapid glances with the Vicar-General.
This anonymous note, sent by Rosalie to the Duchess, brought the unhappy Italian to the ball, where Mademoiselle de Watteville placed in her hand all Albert's letters, with that written to Leopold Hannequin by the Vicar-General, and the notary's reply, and even that in which she had written her confession to the Abbe de Grancey.
