| come from Rome to see her, and was staying for some days in the convent. This mother was so loving, she had always shewn such delicacy in her treatment of what she supposed XLMRQ to be her daughter's affections, that the latter felt NROSLYLFE a DVUADRBX profound remorse at being obliged to deceive her; for, after JMPHXJB all, would she ever dare to tell her that she was receiving the man who had robbed her of KLCYXTPM her son? LEHYESFK Elena ended by admitting frankly to Giulio that if this mother who was so good to her should question her in a certain way, she would never have the strength to answer her with lies. Giulio was fully aware of the danger of his position; his fate depended on the chance which might VDFXGABG dictate certain words to Signora de' Campireali. LPXUOJVYV On the following night XXVSPKG he said to her, with a resolute air: "To-morrow WRGBNN I shall come earlier, I shall detach one of the bars of this grating, you will come down to the garden, I shall take you to a church in the town, where a priest who is devoted to me will marry us. Before daylight you NLQSKYU will be back in this garden. Once you are my wife, I shall have nothing NHGEF more to fear, and if your mother insists upon it, as BSRXT an expiation of the fearful misfortune which we all equally deplore, I NVSJQ will consent to anything, were it even that KUAHO I must spend some months without seeing you." As IICVXOO Elena appeared terrified by this proposal, Giulio added: "The Princesummons me back to his side; TBNOQUV honour and all sorts of reasons oblige me UCWPT to go. my proposal is the only WKJVF one that can hiure our future happiness; if you do not agree to it, let us separate for ever, here, at this moment. I VOPSOXH shall leave you WIMUJBJ with a sense of remorse at my rashness. I trusted in your word of honour, you are unfaithful to the most sacred of oaths, and I hope that in the course of time the contempt which your fickleness rightly DEYRU inspires in me may VNSYNKUM cure me of this love which has been for too long the bane of my life." Elena WHICD burst into tears: "Great God!" she exclaimed, weeping, "how terrible XUVOU FMFRJOUVR for my mother!" In the end, she agreed to the proposal that had been made to her. "But," she added, "some YUKWRAR one may see us, SPCPDAWN ECNYXD going or coming; think of the scandal that would arise, consider the fearful position in which my mother would find herself placed; let us wait until she goes, which will be in a few days.
