"
I
confess
,
General
,
you
puzzle
me
utterly
,
"
replied
my
father
,
looking
at
him
,
I
fancied
,
for
a
moment
with
a
return
of
the
suspicion
I
detected
before
.
But
although
there
was
anger
and
detestation
,
at
times
,
in
the
old
General
's
manner
,
there
was
nothing
flighty
.
"
There
remains
to
me
,
"
he
said
,
as
we
passed
under
the
heavy
arch
of
the
Gothic
church
--
for
its
dimensions
would
have
justified
its
being
so
styled
--
"
but
one
object
which
can
interest
me
during
the
few
years
that
remain
to
me
on
earth
,
and
that
is
to
wreak
on
her
the
vengeance
which
,
I
thank
God
,
may
still
be
accomplished
by
a
mortal
arm
.
"
"
What
vengeance
can
you
mean
?
"
asked
my
father
,
in
increasing
amazement
.
"
I
mean
,
to
decapitate
the
monster
,
"
he
answered
,
with
a
fierce
flush
,
and
a
stamp
that
echoed
mournfully
through
the
hollow
ruin
,
and
his
clenched
hand
was
at
the
same
moment
raised
,
as
if
it
grasped
the
handle
of
an
axe
,
while
he
shook
it
ferociously
in
the
air
.
"
What
?
"
exclaimed
my
father
,
more
than
ever
bewildered
.
"
To
strike
her
head
off
.
"
"
Cut
her
head
off
!
"
"
Aye
,
with
a
hatchet
,
with
a
spade
,
or
with
anything
that
can
cleave
through
her
murderous
throat
.
You
shall
hear
,
"
he
answered
,
trembling
with
rage
.
And
hurrying
forward
he
said
:
"
That
beam
will
answer
for
a
seat
;
your
dear
child
is
fatigued
;
let
her
be
seated
,
and
I
will
,
in
a
few
sentences
,
close
my
dreadful
story
.
"
The
squared
block
of
wood
,
which
lay
on
the
grass-grown
pavement
of
the
chapel
,
formed
a
bench
on
which
I
was
very
glad
to
seat
myself
,
and
in
the
meantime
the
General
called
to
the
woodman
,
who
had
been
removing
some
boughs
which
leaned
upon
the
old
walls
;
and
,
axe
in
hand
,
the
hardy
old
fellow
stood
before
us
.
