CHAPTER XXIII
12/28

"You must go." "Go, Sonia, go--good-bye--good-bye," said Lupin; and he kissed her.
She went quietly out of the room, her handkerchief to her eyes.
Guerchard held open the door for her, and kept it open, with his hand still on the handle; he said to Lupin: "Come along."

"Come, get up," said Guerchard roughly.
