"If you've quite made up your mind," said Guerchard impatiently, and he went into the anteroom. He heard footsteps on the stairs, and then the voice of Guerchard in the anteroom, saying, in a jeering tone, "You're free, mademoiselle; and you can thank the Duke for it. You owe your liberty to him." "Free! And I owe it to him ?" cried the voice of Sonia, ringing and golden with extravagant joy. "You owe it to him." She came through the open door, flushed deliciously and smiling, her eyes brimming with tears of joy. Lupin had never seen her look half so adorable. |
