I
approached
;
the
young
lady
was
apparently
stunned
,
but
she
was
certainly
not
dead
.
My
father
,
who
piqued
himself
on
being
something
of
a
physician
,
had
just
had
his
fingers
on
her
wrist
and
assured
the
lady
,
who
declared
herself
her
mother
,
that
her
pulse
,
though
faint
and
irregular
,
was
undoubtedly
still
distinguishable
.
The
lady
clasped
her
hands
and
looked
upward
,
as
if
in
a
momentary
transport
of
gratitude
;
but
immediately
she
broke
out
again
in
that
theatrical
way
which
is
,
I
believe
,
natural
to
some
people
.
She
was
what
is
called
a
fine
looking
woman
for
her
time
of
life
,
and
must
have
been
handsome
;
she
was
tall
,
but
not
thin
,
and
dressed
in
black
velvet
,
and
looked
rather
pale
,
but
with
a
proud
and
commanding
countenance
,
though
now
agitated
strangely
.
"
Who
was
ever
being
so
born
to
calamity
?
"
I
heard
her
say
,
with
clasped
hands
,
as
I
came
up
.
"
Here
am
I
,
on
a
journey
of
life
and
death
,
in
prosecuting
which
to
lose
an
hour
is
possibly
to
lose
all
.
My
child
will
not
have
recovered
sufficiently
to
resume
her
route
for
who
can
say
how
long
.
I
must
leave
her
:
I
can
not
,
dare
not
,
delay
.
How
far
on
,
sir
,
can
you
tell
,
is
the
nearest
village
?
I
must
leave
her
there
;
and
shall
not
see
my
darling
,
or
even
hear
of
her
till
my
return
,
three
months
hence
.
"
I
plucked
my
father
by
the
coat
,
and
whispered
earnestly
in
his
ear
:
"
Oh
!
papa
,
pray
ask
her
to
let
her
stay
with
us
--
it
would
be
so
delightful
.
Do
,
pray
.
"
"
If
Madame
will
entrust
her
child
to
the
care
of
my
daughter
,
and
of
her
good
gouvernante
,
Madame
Perrodon
,
and
permit
her
to
remain
as
our
guest
,
under
my
charge
,
until
her
return
,
it
will
confer
a
distinction
and
an
obligation
upon
us
,
and
we
shall
treat
her
with
all
the
care
and
devotion
which
so
sacred
a
trust
deserves
.
"
"
I
can
not
do
that
,
sir
,
it
would
be
to
task
your
kindness
and
chivalry
too
cruelly
,
"
said
the
lady
,
distractedly
.
"
It
would
,
on
the
contrary
,
be
to
confer
on
us
a
very
great
kindness
at
the
moment
when
we
most
need
it
.
My
daughter
has
just
been
disappointed
by
a
cruel
misfortune
,
in
a
visit
from
which
she
had
long
anticipated
a
great
deal
of
happiness
.
If
you
confide
this
young
lady
to
our
care
it
will
be
her
best
consolation
.
The
nearest
village
on
your
route
is
distant
,
and
affords
no
such
inn
as
you
could
think
of
placing
your
daughter
at
;
you
can
not
allow
her
to
continue
her
journey
for
any
considerable
distance
without
danger
.
If
,
as
you
say
,
you
can
not
suspend
your
journey
,
you
must
part
with
her
tonight
,
and
nowhere
could
you
do
so
with
more
honest
assurances
of
care
and
tenderness
than
here
.
"
There
was
something
in
this
lady
's
air
and
appearance
so
distinguished
and
even
imposing
,
and
in
her
manner
so
engaging
,
as
to
impress
one
,
quite
apart
from
the
dignity
of
her
equipage
,
with
a
conviction
that
she
was
a
person
of
consequence
.
By
this
time
the
carriage
was
replaced
in
its
upright
position
,
and
the
horses
,
quite
tractable
,
in
the
traces
again
.
