LOVE HEALS THE BROKEN HEART.
In arriving at Langres, Claudet enrolled in the seventeenth battalion of light infantry.

Five days later, paying no attention to the lamentations of Manette, he left Vivey, going, by way of Lyon, to the camp at Lathonay, where his battalion was stationed.

Julien was thus left alone at the chateau to recover as best he might from the dazed feeling caused by the startling events of the last few weeks.

After Claudet's departure, he felt an uneasy sensation of discomfort, and as if he himself had lessened in value.
