That evening, Gertrude FASTENED to the grotto
and brought back Zoe in triumph TO the Lair
That night, Brutus, Gertrude, and Zoe, were
grouped around the kitchen fire
"Now, then, dear Gertrude, remember your
promise, that as soon as Brutus should return you
would explain this mistake"
Gertrude looked at Brutus and Brutus, taking
the hand Of Zoe in his own, began--and slowly,
cautiously tenderly revealed to her the secret Of
her birth, and her present condition. The shadows
Of the freight danced so ftfully upon her face
that he could not see its expression while he
spoke. He told her all-oH
At the conclusion Of his story, Zoe remained
silent, with her hands clasped upon her lap with
her head bowed upon her bosom, Al last broke
from her lips in passionate grief these words
"Oh! my parents my Ssren,s. what misery
this deception has made, oh tina. had never
been born My heart IL breaking Sseakipz !
Let me die let me die now. never shall look
up again neveri no, never ~ and, overcome
by grief and shame, she sank upon the floor and
rolled upon her face
Gertrude and Brutus made a simultaneous
spring to lift her. Brutus caught her to his
bosom, laid her head against his chest, laid her
arm up over his shoulder, and soothed her. This
kindness touched the fountain Of her tears, and
she wept long and freely. This weeping re-
neved Der, AS weeping anyways 1--WE 'iei k''c'

only quiet grief that kills, as in the case Of Anna
Reaction equals action" At last Zoe looked
up clearly through her tears, and said
