After the r~e-capture Of the fugitives in the mountains,
Corolinn, on her return to s chiras, was delivered over
to the custody of an old woman, who had orders not to
trust her out of her sight, and was assured that she
should answer for her charge with her life. For several

prince, who daily saw her, refused to communicate any
information as to what was his fate, further than that he
met with a merited punishment, but was still alive.
When however he had been sentenced, Corolinn. as we
have already seen, learned the result, and tool d -
