Her words flung a great burden
from Hilary's mind. He had never
been able to reconcile the thought of
her guilt In the conspiracy with his
knowledge of her, his conception
which was almost knowledge.

.Brousseau staggered backward, came
up against the table, and stood star
ing at her in incredulity, in fear, in
fury, his own face whittier than hers.
The Seigneur sat down in his chair
heavily, seeming to collapse there.

laugh that Hilary had ever heard. He
