That
evidence
,
"
he
observed
,
"
was
hardly
required
in
so
glaring
a
case
,
but
I
am
glad
of
it
,
and
,
indeed
,
none
of
our
judges
like
to
condemn
a
criminal
upon
circumstantial
evidence
,
be
it
ever
so
decisive
.
"
This
was
strange
and
unexpected
intelligence
;
what
could
it
mean
?
Had
my
eyes
deceived
me
?
And
was
I
really
as
mad
as
the
whole
world
would
believe
me
to
be
if
I
disclosed
the
object
of
my
suspicions
?
I
hastened
to
return
home
,
and
Elizabeth
eagerly
demanded
the
result
.
"
My
cousin
,
"
replied
I
,
"
it
is
decided
as
you
may
have
expected
;
all
judges
had
rather
that
ten
innocent
should
suffer
than
that
one
guilty
should
escape
.
But
she
has
confessed
.
"
This
was
a
dire
blow
to
poor
Elizabeth
,
who
had
relied
with
firmness
upon
Justine
's
innocence
.
"
Alas
!
"
said
she
.
"
How
shall
I
ever
again
believe
in
human
goodness
?
Justine
,
whom
I
loved
and
esteemed
as
my
sister
,
how
could
she
put
on
those
smiles
of
innocence
only
to
betray
?
Her
mild
eyes
seemed
incapable
of
any
severity
or
guile
,
and
yet
she
has
committed
a
murder
.
"
Soon
after
we
heard
that
the
poor
victim
had
expressed
a
desire
to
see
my
cousin
.
My
father
wished
her
not
to
go
but
said
that
he
left
it
to
her
own
judgment
and
feelings
to
decide
.
"
Yes
,
"
said
Elizabeth
,
"
I
will
go
,
although
she
is
guilty
;
and
you
,
Victor
,
shall
accompany
me
;
I
can
not
go
alone
.
"
The
idea
of
this
visit
was
torture
to
me
,
yet
I
could
not
refuse
.
We
entered
the
gloomy
prison
chamber
and
beheld
Justine
sitting
on
some
straw
at
the
farther
end
;
her
hands
were
manacled
,
and
her
head
rested
on
her
knees
.
She
rose
on
seeing
us
enter
,
and
when
we
were
left
alone
with
her
,
she
threw
herself
at
the
feet
of
Elizabeth
,
weeping
bitterly
.
My
cousin
wept
also
.
"
Oh
,
Justine
!
"
said
she
.
"
Why
did
you
rob
me
of
my
last
consolation
?
I
relied
on
your
innocence
,
and
although
I
was
then
very
wretched
,
I
was
not
so
miserable
as
I
am
now
.
"
"
And
do
you
also
believe
that
I
am
so
very
,
very
wicked
?
Do
you
also
join
with
my
enemies
to
crush
me
,
to
condemn
me
as
a
murderer
?
"
Her
voice
was
suffocated
with
sobs
.
"
Rise
,
my
poor
girl
,
"
said
Elizabeth
;
"
why
do
you
kneel
,
if
you
are
innocent
?
I
am
not
one
of
your
enemies
,
I
believed
you
guiltless
,
notwithstanding
every
evidence
,
until
I
heard
that
you
had
yourself
declared
your
guilt
.
That
report
,
you
say
,
is
false
;
and
be
assured
,
dear
Justine
,
that
nothing
can
shake
my
confidence
in
you
for
a
moment
,
but
your
own
confession
.
"
"
I
did
confess
,
but
I
confessed
a
lie
.
I
confessed
,
that
I
might
obtain
absolution
;
but
now
that
falsehood
lies
heavier
at
my
heart
than
all
my
other
sins
.
The
God
of
heaven
forgive
me
!
Ever
since
I
was
condemned
,
my
confessor
has
besieged
me
;
he
threatened
and
menaced
,
until
I
almost
began
to
think
that
I
was
the
monster
that
he
said
I
was
.
He
threatened
excommunication
and
hell
fire
in
my
last
moments
if
I
continued
obdurate
.
Dear
lady
,
I
had
none
to
support
me
;
all
looked
on
me
as
a
wretch
doomed
to
ignominy
and
perdition
.
What
could
I
do
?
In
an
evil
hour
I
subscribed
to
a
lie
;
and
now
only
am
I
truly
miserable
.
"
She
paused
,
weeping
,
and
then
continued
,
"
I
thought
with
horror
,
my
sweet
lady
,
that
you
should
believe
your
Justine
,
whom
your
blessed
aunt
had
so
highly
honoured
,
and
whom
you
loved
,
was
a
creature
capable
of
a
crime
which
none
but
the
devil
himself
could
have
perpetrated
.
Dear
William
!
dearest
blessed
child
!
I
soon
shall
see
you
again
in
heaven
,
where
we
shall
all
be
happy
;
and
that
consoles
me
,
going
as
I
am
to
suffer
ignominy
and
death
.
