To his dying day that hour was with him his passionate love, his sick, horrible fear, his dizzy rapture, when she spoke at last, only one word "yes." To his dying day he saw her as he saw her then, in her summery muslin dress, her gipsy hat, the pale, troubled look chasing the color from the drooping face. But the answer was "yes."

He had done justice to every dish set before him; he had made a little speech, congratulating himself on having such a well-trained body of men to command, and felicitating Chaudiere from many points of view.
