My
father
said
this
gaily
,
but
the
General
did
not
recollect
the
laugh
,
or
even
the
smile
,
which
courtesy
exacts
for
a
friend
's
joke
;
on
the
contrary
,
he
looked
grave
and
even
fierce
,
ruminating
on
a
matter
that
stirred
his
anger
and
horror
.
"
Something
very
different
,
"
he
said
,
gruffly
.
"
I
mean
to
unearth
some
of
those
fine
people
.
I
hope
,
by
God
's
blessing
,
to
accomplish
a
pious
sacrilege
here
,
which
will
relieve
our
earth
of
certain
monsters
,
and
enable
honest
people
to
sleep
in
their
beds
without
being
assailed
by
murderers
.
I
have
strange
things
to
tell
you
,
my
dear
friend
,
such
as
I
myself
would
have
scouted
as
incredible
a
few
months
since
.
"
My
father
looked
at
him
again
,
but
this
time
not
with
a
glance
of
suspicion
--
with
an
eye
,
rather
,
of
keen
intelligence
and
alarm
.
"
The
house
of
Karnstein
,
"
he
said
,
"
has
been
long
extinct
:
a
hundred
years
at
least
.
My
dear
wife
was
maternally
descended
from
the
Karnsteins
.
But
the
name
and
title
have
long
ceased
to
exist
.
The
castle
is
a
ruin
;
the
very
village
is
deserted
;
it
is
fifty
years
since
the
smoke
of
a
chimney
was
seen
there
;
not
a
roof
left
.
"
"
Quite
true
.
I
have
heard
a
great
deal
about
that
since
I
last
saw
you
;
a
great
deal
that
will
astonish
you
.
But
I
had
better
relate
everything
in
the
order
in
which
it
occurred
,
"
said
the
General
.
"
You
saw
my
dear
ward
--
my
child
,
I
may
call
her
.
No
creature
could
have
been
more
beautiful
,
and
only
three
months
ago
none
more
blooming
.
"
"
Yes
,
poor
thing
!
when
I
saw
her
last
she
certainly
was
quite
lovely
,
"
said
my
father
.
"
I
was
grieved
and
shocked
more
than
I
can
tell
you
,
my
dear
friend
;
I
knew
what
a
blow
it
was
to
you
.
"
He
took
the
General
's
hand
,
and
they
exchanged
a
kind
pressure
.
Tears
gathered
in
the
old
soldier
's
eyes
.
He
did
not
seek
to
conceal
them
He
said
:
"
We
have
been
very
old
friends
;
I
knew
you
would
feel
for
me
,
childless
as
I
am
.
She
had
become
an
object
of
very
near
interest
to
me
,
and
repaid
my
care
by
an
affection
that
cheered
my
home
and
made
my
life
happy
.
That
is
all
gone
.
The
years
that
remain
to
me
on
earth
may
not
be
very
long
;
but
by
God
's
mercy
I
hope
to
accomplish
a
service
to
mankind
before
I
die
,
and
to
subserve
the
vengeance
of
Heaven
upon
the
fiends
who
have
murdered
my
poor
child
in
the
spring
of
her
hopes
and
beauty
!
"
"
You
said
,
just
now
,
that
you
intended
relating
everything
as
it
occurred
,
"
said
my
father
.
"
Pray
do
;
I
assure
you
that
it
is
not
mere
curiosity
that
prompts
me
.
"
