was night, ana / lay lpT Il lOlS tliHG
staring up through The darkness and
piecing together the adventures which
had befailen me since that moment
when Duboq had halted me on the
highway from Tours. My heart quick
ened as l recalled that evening IN the
garden, as ] rebuilt il, as | lived II
over again, second by second. All
shat had seen the one hour OF my
:ifel And yet. even in the shadow Of
$he perils which followed, | had not
been unhappy, for she had been BESIDE
me, with her clear eyes ana SrnllNls
lips; and IL she chose to smlte me now
and then, why, certainly, ! had inVlted
the blows and even in a a deserved
them.
Then. at the end, / had won. That
Gnal disaster a driven her straight
into my arms, as a storm drives the
boats to barber, She had laid her
head upon my shoulder and whisper
q~uickened at thought of it. She loved
tne-that superb, matchless woman
loved mel What did all the rest mat
Ser-the worlds opinion, my plighted
word ] would take her-l would
pever give her up! She loved me;
That should be my Justification. And
gripping that thought tight against
my heart, / dropped away to sleep.
The sun was shining brightly at the
open window when | awakened for
$he third time, and again | saw that
Kindly face bending above me.
