He seemed irritated at seeing her, and rebuked his servant sharply for his ill-advised zeal. He said he had only had a touch of vertigo, to which he was subject. Madame de Campvallon soon retired, having first supplicated him not to overwork himself again.
"Believe me, I comprehend your grief: that you have experienced an irreparable loss, in which I sympathize with you most sincerely. "CHATEAU DE CAMPVALLON, Voie de l'ouest. "P.S. It is probable, my young cousin, that I may have something of interest to communicate to you!"

"No, Madame, I have been passing several weeks with my kinsman, General de Campvallon, who has also the honor, I believe, to be a friend of yours; and who has requested me to call upon you."

Shortly after, the Marquise de Campvallon, obeying a secret sign from M. de Camors, rejoined him in the retired boudoir, which recalled to them both the most culpable incident of their lives.
