At
about
that
time
a
servant
knocked
at
my
niece
's
door
,
to
say
that
he
had
been
earnestly
requested
by
a
young
lady
,
who
appeared
to
be
in
great
distress
,
to
make
out
where
she
could
find
the
General
Baron
Spielsdorf
and
the
young
lady
his
daughter
,
in
whose
charge
she
had
been
left
by
her
mother
.
"
There
could
be
no
doubt
,
notwithstanding
the
slight
inaccuracy
,
that
our
young
friend
had
turned
up
;
and
so
she
had
.
Would
to
heaven
we
had
lost
her
!
"
She
told
my
poor
child
a
story
to
account
for
her
having
failed
to
recover
us
for
so
long
.
Very
late
,
she
said
,
she
had
got
to
the
housekeeper
's
bedroom
in
despair
of
finding
us
,
and
had
then
fallen
into
a
deep
sleep
which
,
long
as
it
was
,
had
hardly
sufficed
to
recruit
her
strength
after
the
fatigues
of
the
ball
.
"
That
day
Millarca
came
home
with
us
.
I
was
only
too
happy
,
after
all
,
to
have
secured
so
charming
a
companion
for
my
dear
girl
.
"
"
There
soon
,
however
,
appeared
some
drawbacks
.
In
the
first
place
,
Millarca
complained
of
extreme
languor
--
the
weakness
that
remained
after
her
late
illness
--
and
she
never
emerged
from
her
room
till
the
afternoon
was
pretty
far
advanced
.
In
the
next
place
,
it
was
accidentally
discovered
,
although
she
always
locked
her
door
on
the
inside
,
and
never
disturbed
the
key
from
its
place
till
she
admitted
the
maid
to
assist
at
her
toilet
,
that
she
was
undoubtedly
sometimes
absent
from
her
room
in
the
very
early
morning
,
and
at
various
times
later
in
the
day
,
before
she
wished
it
to
be
understood
that
she
was
stirring
.
She
was
repeatedly
seen
from
the
windows
of
the
schloss
,
in
the
first
faint
grey
of
the
morning
,
walking
through
the
trees
,
in
an
easterly
direction
,
and
looking
like
a
person
in
a
trance
.
This
convinced
me
that
she
walked
in
her
sleep
.
But
this
hypothesis
did
not
solve
the
puzzle
.
How
did
she
pass
out
from
her
room
,
leaving
the
door
locked
on
the
inside
?
How
did
she
escape
from
the
house
without
unbarring
door
or
window
?
"
In
the
midst
of
my
perplexities
,
an
anxiety
of
a
far
more
urgent
kind
presented
itself
.
"
My
dear
child
began
to
lose
her
looks
and
health
,
and
that
in
a
manner
so
mysterious
,
and
even
horrible
,
that
I
became
thoroughly
frightened
.
"
She
was
at
first
visited
by
appalling
dreams
;
then
,
as
she
fancied
,
by
a
specter
,
sometimes
resembling
Millarca
,
sometimes
in
the
shape
of
a
beast
,
indistinctly
seen
,
walking
round
the
foot
of
her
bed
,
from
side
to
side
.
"
Lastly
came
sensations
.
One
,
not
unpleasant
,
but
very
peculiar
,
she
said
,
resembled
the
flow
of
an
icy
stream
against
her
breast
.
At
a
later
time
,
she
felt
something
like
a
pair
of
large
needles
pierce
her
,
a
little
below
the
throat
,
with
a
very
sharp
pain
.
A
few
nights
after
,
followed
a
gradual
and
convulsive
sense
of
strangulation
;
then
came
unconsciousness
.
