With a countenauce radiant with
Unsurpassed joy he took hold OF
her hand and said:
''My dear wife, hope you will live
long enough to enjoy your wealth.

humbly beg your forgiveness for my
harshness. II was madly jealous of

soon she was too weak to rise from
her bed. She knew that before the
balmy, life-giving air of summer
would come she would be lying in hel
grave, but the thought of her seconc
secret will was the source of an eXult
ant Joy even on the borders of th'
tomb.

So he searched the house over, bu
