THE ONE WHO SAW.
All day and every day Madelinette's mind kept fastening itself upon one theme, kept turning to one spot.

In her dreams she saw the hanging lamp, the moving panel, the little cupboard, the fatal paper.

Waking and restlessly busy, she sometimes forgot it for a moment, but remembrance would come back with painful force, and her will must govern her hurt spirit into quiet resolution.

She had such a sense of humiliation as though some one dear to her had committed a crime against herself.
